Neither actor is Hedwig, so no one is the real thing. It's a matter of who's a better Hedwig, not who has more experience with having disassociation with their assigned gender role. The latter might help with being a better Hedwig, but shouldn't trump acting ability.

That argument still only makes sense if you believe there are zero trans actresses with acting ability to match Neil's.

And I love Neil but he's not that good an actor.

Did they audition though?

[(Anonymous)]

Did they allow them to audition? Or had they already decided they were going to use a cis man?

Not a rethorical question, I genuinely don't know. Were trans women given the chance to audition? Because usually they aren't.

[(Anonymous)]

DA-- or had they already decided they were going to use that particular actor? I'm not saying that's the right thing to do, but I suspect there are times when the producers or whatever have a particular name actor in mind.

Oh darling, you're cute. You actually believe show business is an equal opportunity playground. Not a business that tries to cast well known/popular actors so more people come to watch a show.

[(Anonymous)]

That is the point. OP was saying 'shouldn't the role go to who can play the part better?', and I was trying to get them to understand that talent had nothing to do with it.
