BWW Asks - Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato: Who Should Be HEDWIG's Next Yitzhak?

As BWW just reported, Hedwig and the Angry Inch's Tony Award winner Lena Hall will play her final performance as Yitzhak on Saturday, April 4. Hall created the role of Yitzhak at the Belasco Theatre (111 West 44th Street) earning rave reviews for her performance being called "excellent," (New York Times), "dazzling" (Harper's Bazaar), "magnificent" (The Chicago Tribune), and "simply wonderful" (The Hollywood Reporter).

Hall has co-starred with all four actors who have played Hedwig on Broadway: Tony Award winner Neil Patrick Harris, Tony Award nominee Andrew Rannells, Golden Globe and Drama Desk Award winner Michael C. Hall, and current Hedwig and show co-creator John Cameron Mitchell.
