Who'd Look Hot as Broadway's Next Hedwig?

From Cheyenne Jackson to Patti LuPone, Playbill imagines famous Hedwig and the Angry Inch replacements through the magic of Photoshop.

With great eye shadow comes great responsibility.

Andrew Rannells, a Tony nominee for his work in The Book of Mormon, is currently rocking a return to Broadway in the Tony Award-winning musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch as Hedwig, a fictional East German singer living as a female after a botched gender-reassignment operation.

Rannells only took over the role from Neil Patrick Harris as of August 20, but who should step in following the out Girls star's limited eight-week engagement?

After polling readers on which actor they wanted to see slip on Hedwig's heels, Playbill staffers mocked up some fun covers featuring potential replacements, including Cheyenne Jackson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Patti LuPone, and Patrick Stewart.

Harris, who won the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical as Hedwig, has also named Gordon-Levitt as a possible replacement, adding that the actor "would be pretty" in the role.

The Broadway premiere of John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask's 1998 cult rock musical, which won the Tony for Best Revival of a Musical, opened April 22 at the Belasco Theatre. The original cast recording is now available.
