Neil Patrick Harris killed the role, Lena Hall was a fitting Tony Winner and everyone who played it during this revival brought something new to both roles.
I LOVE Hedwig so much! I felt like this show was so well cast for it's entire run, until Taye Diggs. I don't know if his casting was what made the show have to close, but IMO he just wasn't right for the role.
Agreed----JCM wrote it for himself and embodies the role in a way that no one else quite can. But it was a great idea for NPH's return to Broadway and to musicals.
@@auroraspiderwoman5886 Exactly! While the other actors are incredible, JCM's performance always seemed so effortless and natural. He truly disappears into the character...
I think he did a wonnderful job. However, when I was a lost and confused teen and saw the movie, it was heartbreaking. Yes Hedwig had humour, but it was ultimately a tragedy. Hearing the audience laugh so much fealt very odd to me
i think that the movie has a much more different tone than the broadway show. the jokes in the movie arent made for people to laugh at, however with the show they are. they r told in very different ways

"I laugh, because I'll cry if I don't. "
An immortal line.
I love NPH soooo much. These clips gave me such a case of The Happies!!! Thank you Spider Woman!!!
Can't ask for more than "a case of The Happies."
Do you have the full show in HD to share? The quality of this video is amazing
Queen in my pic is Willam, who taught nph HOW to be hedwig. Seriously look it up. Feeling soft tonight and I haven't hugged a queen in nearly 2 years.
this is so weird to watch after watching HIMYM
One of Barney’s new personas
so fucking fabulous
Lol neil can do it all

Agreed. However, I still thought he was hilarious at certain parts of the show and his vocals sounded really good in the slower songs as well.
WOW fantastic
i wish i knew about this, woulda taken my sister she used to watch this movie on repeat
Amazing upload as always, Ms Aurora! Neil is great, but JCM is still the ultimate Hedwig in my opinion. Please post more Hedwig in the future :)

@eddie-fi4kx Fair enough. I would have to watch the Broadway in entirety before having a more well formed opinion. Appreciate it! :)
is there any more from this recording? ive been scurrying the internet for neil patrick harris in hedwig content and there is not a lot!
Barney Stinson hasn't been the same since his marriage with Robin didn't work out.
Sucks so hard that I missed this in person... Insert joke here, although I am sad
He is awesome. But I like jhon Cameron Mitchell more.
