NEW YORK, N.Y. – The co-creator and original star of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” is returning to her miniskirt and wig.
John Cameron Mitchell said Thursday that he will take over from Michael C. Hall, the current Hedwig, in the Broadway production on Jan. 21.
Mitchell made his Broadway acting debut in “Big River” and has also performed in “Six Degrees of Separation” and “The Secret Garden.”
He co-wrote “Hedwig,” about a German male transsexual rock singer, with composer Stephen Trask. It opened Off-Broadway in 1998 and ran for more than two years.
The show roared onto Broadway last season and won the Tony Award for best musical revival. Neil Patrick Harris, as Hedwig, won the Tony for best actor in a musical. He was replaced by Andrew Rannells and then Hall.
