"Sheedy appears to take the outrageous narrative of Hedwig’s life very seriously and plays it for anguish. There are lots of tortured dead spots and angry longueurs. She hams it up like some lost episode of Wedekind’s “Lulu.” This is now “Hedda Gabler and the Angry Inch.” By
Donald Lyons
"
"Ms. Sheedy does not seem to share her
character’s love for the spotlight, at least in this show. As of Oct. 13, after
35 preview performances, Ms. Sheedy had performed in only 17 of them, after
pushing back her preview debut by a week. The other 18 have featured her
understudy, rock singer and former Calvin Klein model Donovan Leitch. Although
Ms. Sheedy certainly intends to perform on opening night, Oct. 13, and
throughout her scheduled run through the end of January, the fact is that, if
the preview performances are any indication, audience members hoping to see Ms.
Sheedy may very well end up with Mr. Leitch. While Mr. Leitch, the son of 1960′s
folk singer Donovan, arguably turns in a better performance than Ms. Sheedy,
it’s not his picture that the producers have been using to sell tickets.
Newspaper ads for the show do indicate in small print, “Special appearance by
Donovan Leitch as Hedwig at certain performances.” Originally scheduled to do
the Wednesday evening 8 P.M. show, he is also doing the 11 P.M. show on
Fridays, as well as any performances Ms. Sheedy happens to miss. By
