And of course, here’s to Neil, and Andrew, and Michael, and Darren, and Taye, and Steven and Lena…As this production goes across the globe, lift up your hands JCM (originator John Cameron Mitchell).”<\/p>\n One of Hedwig’s great achievements — its charitable contributions via ticket sales to LGBT youth and AIDS organizations — was also touted by Binder.<\/p>\n Said Binder: “We thought we were going to do 16 weeks but we did 76 weeks. And we thought we were going to do 112 performances and this is the 529th. We’ve raised over a million dollars for Hetrick Martin and Broadway Cares.<\/p>\n Finally, the cast and the theatre joined together in a final performance of the classic tune “Wig in a Box”.<\/p>\n Watch the moment below:<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The post ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’ Closed Last Night.
