Taye Diggs has the distinction of not only being the first Hedwig of color on Broadway, but also the Hedwig to close the show on September 13th.  Producer David Binder was philosophical about the news: “When we announced our limited 16-week Broadway engagement of Hedwig, never in my wildest dreams did I think it would run for a year and a half.”  Ticket sales for Diggs have not been particularly encouraging, and reviews for his performance have been decidedly mixed.  NJ.com gave the Newark native a glowing review, titling their piece, “Why Taye Diggs might be the best Hedwig yet.”  However, the New York Post called their review, “Taye Diggs is a drag in Hedwig & the Angry Inch – and not the good kind.”  What I find most interesting is his appearance.  I remember how Neil Patrick Harris actually took weight off his lithe frame to convincingly play the role.  Most of the other Hedwigs did the same.  From the photos of Diggs in his scanties, he looks rather, well, large.  Then again, what do I know?  The Post calls him “buff”, but I’d call him enormous…and not the good kind.
