We’ve had Neil Patrick Harris, Andrew Rannells, Michael C. Hall and the recent stint from John Cameron Mitchell playing Broadway’s take on Hedwig And The Angry Inch, and now it’s Glee star Darren Criss’ turn.
And in what has fast become a bit on an anticipated tradition, we’ve not got the first pic of the actor in the character’s glittery make-up. He does look pretty, although less androgymous than you might expect.
Hedwig is the show’s East German title character, who was left with an angry inch after a botched sex change operation that she had in order to get into the US with her American GI lover. Hedwig then started dating young Tommy Gnosis, who left her behind when he took her music and became a rock star – leaving her understandably bitter (but still very funny).
Criss is playing the role on Broadway from April 29th to July 19th.
