If there are any obsessive Hedheads out there (like me -coughs-) you would have been itching to know who was going to be joining Neil Patrick Harris in the new Broadway production of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, and ladies and gentlemen…we finally have our Yitzhak!
Harris, who will take on the title role of Hedwig, took to his Twitter account to announce that KINKY BOOTS alumni Lena Hall will be donning her best stubble to join the cast:
I’m thrilled to announce that @HedwigOnBway has found it’s Yitzhak: the amazing Lena Hall (@LenaRockerHall). Minds/roof about to be blown!

The reveal of Lena Hall comes after the announcement that Harris is set to extend his time at HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH for another month due to public demand. He will now take on the role till August.
HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, with a book by John Cameron Mitchell and music by Stephen Trask, will be directed by SPRING AWAKENING AND AMERICAN IDIOT’s Michael Mayer and is set to open at Belasco Theatre in April.
