You're welcome, Lilikoiluv!
I keep forgetting what seats you have, Lilikoiluv, for the SF show. I looked it up again and I'm impressed that you are soooo close to the stage! My seat for the Belasco Theatre was in Row F, which I thought was really close. You could really see Darren's facial expressions so well. But your seats are even closer! And hopefully, if they keep it the same as the Broadway shows, you'll be in perfect position to see the carwash! I can only imagine how happy you will be watching him perform, Lilikoiluv!

Well said, Lilikoiluv! Even if you turned the volume of the SHN video to no sound, when watching the video of the conversation, you can see the support and camaraderie between these three (as well as see it in the photos). So great!

HEDWIG National Tour Kicks Off in Darren Criss's Hometown This Sunday
September 30, 2016
A friendly reminder! Darren Criss and Lena Hall will launch the highly anticipated National Tour of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the 2014 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Revival, reprising their critically-acclaimed performances at the SHN Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco (October 2-30) and the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles (November 1-27).
As Bay Area natives, Darren Criss and Lena Hall are thrilled to open the tour in front of hometown audiences and then bring the show to Hollywood. Criss explained, "When I found out that the tour would be kicking off in my hometown of San Francisco - the city where I was introduced to Hedwig & The Angry Inch - I could think of no better excuse to get back into the heels of a character I loved and missed so very much. And since Los Angeles has become a second home for me, I relished the idea of seeing what kind of fun Hedwig would bring to the heart of Hollywood!"
Hall offered a similar sentiment: "Not only will I get to share the stage with my fellow San Francisco native and friend Darren Criss; but I will also get a chance to begin my own journey as the glam rock heroine Hedwig. To tell her story in my hometown and in Los Angeles is the greatest homecoming I can think of, and I am looking forward to sharing this journey with my friends, family and Hedheads."
