Passing the Wig: What Did Neil Patrick Harris & Andrew Rannells Leave Behind for Hedwig Star Michael C. Hall?

Michael C. Hall de-glittered himself (which, apparently, is a lot harder than it sounds) to stop by Late Night and chat with Seth Meyers about his latest stint in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. As one would expect, taking on this crazy role has created a sisterhood between Neil Patrick Harris, Andrew Rannells and Hall. Rannells left behind some champagne, facial products and the ultimate glitter remover: scotch tape. Harris emailed Hall with pointers. But what’s the real secret to nailing those high-heeled jumps? “I never rehearsed out of heels,” says Hall. “Or fishnets, or a bra.” That’s dedication. You can catch him as Hedwig at the Belasco Theatre through January 4, 2015.
