Lena Hall on Her Tony Nomination for 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch'

BlackBook: When I first heard that Neil Patrick Harris was stepping into the infamous shoes of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, I thought it was a natural fit. Though I first met Neil as a co-star when he was just 14 on the set of Cold Sassy Tree (where I was his first kiss) the world now knows him as a master showman. A total magician, comedy gold, and boasting the most excellent voice—and gams to boot!—it’s no surprise that he is fantastic in the role of Hedwig. But the revelation here, is Lena Hall, who plays Yitzhak, as woman playing a man who longs to be a drag queen.
