How wonderful. Who was the best Hedwig, in your opinion?

I also have been "collecting" Hedwigs. Like Rose in Gypsy, this role allows such a vast range of interpretations. And so many have been so different. I have definite faves...a couple that I thought were missteps, and some real surprises. Darrin Criss? Almost made me think he was Tommy Gnossis all along and that Hedwig was Tommy's alter ego. Came to that at the very end and went back to see if my thoughts were possible and yes, they were. LOL. Other than JCM, my other favorite was Euan Morten whom I saw in New Brunswick, NJ. Followed closely by NPH.

They were each great in their own way but I think when John Cameron Mitchell returned (and immediately broke his foot) was the most authentic to the original off-broadway production for obvious reasons, but tbh Taye Diggs was truly hilarious and really surprised me. Darren Kriss was probably the least engaging for me but the show was so good I consider myself blessed to have gone so many times with zero disappointments. That in and if itself is a serious achievement cause I’m jaded lol.
