Miriam Shor

[laughs]

And I think that this is the first time I've seen Hedwig and the Angry Inch that I, like, knew who Miriam Shor was, so that was delightful.

Mm.

I don't...

Who is that?

Uh, Miriam Shor plays Yitzhak, Hedwig's husband.

Oh.

Um, and I really enjoyed her in the-

is, like, welcome in the performer's world.

doing the show so long as you're being respectful and respecting the authenticity of these characters specifically.

All was not the right word choice, but certainly Miriam Shore playing Yitzhak in the off-Broadway and then also in the movie, and then Lena Hall in the Broadway version in 2014, I do think does bring an element of its own dynamic into that.

That Yitzhak is, best I can tell...

But again, all these lines are intentionally blurry, but best I can tell is male in this movie, but male presenting in this movie, and not specifically in any kind of drag during the band performances.

Um-

My poor a- uh, Miriam Shor.

By the way, my, my whole cast, Miriam Shor play- she's a national treasure playing Helen, my wife.

In the original Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the original, I- if you haven't seen that, the movie and the Broadway production, answered like a Village Voice ad to do the play, like, in a basement.

Oh my gosh.
