Hedwig Closing On Broadway

The Broadway revival of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, John Cameron Mitchell's hilarious and heartbreaking tale of a gender-fluid German rock "star," is ending its run on September 13, The New York Times reports.

The musical played over 500 performances since coming to the Belasco Theatre last year; it won four Tonys, including Best Revival and Best Actor for star Neil Patrick Harris as well as Best Featured Actress in a Musical for Lena Hall.

After Harris departed the show, out actor Andrew Rannells donned the famous Farrah wig, as well as Michael C. Hall, John Cameron Mitchell, who originated the role off-Broadway in the '90s, and Glee star Darren Criss.

The most recent "Hedwig" is Broadway and movie star Taye Diggs, though his performance wasn't received as enthusiastically as his predecessors -- ticket sales began slumping, leading to the decision to end the show.

Mitchell's creation not only inspired the Broadway production, but a much-loved 2001 film that brought the offbeat tale to even more audiences.
