Hedwig's Wig Stolen from Broadway Stage

An eager Broadway fan with a touch of kleptomania and an eye for crossdressing has something special to wear this Halloween.

Staff members at Broadway's Belasco Theater, where the Tony Award-winning "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" plays to packed houses eight times a week, are reporting that one of the blond wigs worn by the title character went missing last weekend.

The wig, which is one of many worn by actor Michael C. Hall, who plays the East German transgender rocker Hedwig, was last seen in the final scene of the glam rock tuner, when as directed, Hall ripped it off his head and threw it on the stage floor.

"Normally, the crew gets it immediately after the curtain call," explained a spy to Page Six. But on Saturday night, "the wig was nowhere to be found. They suspect an eager fan grabbed it [off the stage] and made off with it."

The wig, which was designed by Broadway newcomer hairstylist Mike Potter, is likely made of human hair and is valued at several thousand dollars.

"You do not mess with Hedwig's wigs," said one of the show's producers, David Binder who forewarned. "I'm afraid for the poor person who did this, because Hedwig will find you - hunt you down, and do unspeakable things to you."

Binder had further caveats for the culprit.

"Trust me, you'd better not wear it in the Village on Friday. She'll snatch it right off your head, and if she takes a handful of your actual hair, I can't be held responsible," he said.

Although it has a limited market, Broadway memorabilia can often go for big bucks. Each year in September, theatrical charity Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS raises over a half million dollars selling one-of-a-kind items worn on stage at their annual Broadway Flea Market and Grand Auction.
