Taye Diggs Hedwig and the Angry Inch Poster - P 2015
Sebastian MaderTaye Diggs is a glittering, Grace Jones-esque vision in the newly released poster for Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
The Murder in the First actor will make his return to Broadway, starring in the Tony-winning revival of John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask‘s cult rock opera beginning July 22 at the Belasco Theatre. His limited 12-week engagement as the East German rocker bouncing back from a botched transgender surgery, who comes to America in search of fame and a truer sense of herself, runs through Oct. 11.
Diggs‘ last stint on a New York stage was in 2005 with the off-Broadway revival of A Soldier’s Play. He made his Broadway debut in a 1994 production of Carousel and soon after was featured in the original cast of the landmark musical Rent.
