HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH Updates Lottery Timing!

Hedwig will soon put the wig back on the shelf. As BroadwayWorld reported yesterday, Tony-winning revival of Hedwig and the Angry Inch will close on Broadway on Sept, 13. Taye Diggs, the show's current star, will wrap its run. Now the show has officially updated its lottery policy. A recent tweet reads: "Hedwig Alert! New lottery timing - you may now enter 2 hours before each performance; winners drawn 90 minutes prior to show time."

At the time of closing, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH will have played 22 previews and 506 regular performances.

"When we announced our limited 16-week Broadway engagement of Hedwig, never in my wildest dreams did I think it would run for a year and a half," producer David Binder said in a statement. "Hedwig heralded a historic year of acceptance and celebration across America. It has been a privilege to work with our extraordinary leading men Neil, Andrew, Michael, John, Darren and Taye; Lena Hall, Rebecca Naomi Jones, Shannon Conley, and our kick ass band Tits of Clay. I am so happy that Michael Mayer's groundbreaking production has introduced Hedwig to a new generation of fans and brought John and Stephen's downtown show into the mainstream. The vision of these artists was truly ahead of its time. I couldn't be prouder of the entire team and am thrilled that audiences across the US will soon be able to experience our show when it begins its national tour."
