*The folks at “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” have released a first look at Taye Diggs in the title role.

The actor returns to Broadway this summer in the 2014 Tony Award winner for Best Musical Revival – replacing “Glee” star Darren Criss. The show opened last season with Neil Patrick Harris – winning a Tony Award for the role, and has since starred Andrew Rannells, Michael C. Hall and co-creator John Cameron Mitchell.

The show posted the image, by photographer Sebastian Mader, on its Instagram account Wednesday along with a quote from Diggs: “Hedwig is the role of a lifetime.”

Diggs will play Hedwig in the acclaimed musical for a limited 12-week engagement starting July 22 at the Belasco Theatre in New York. This will mark Diggs’ first New York stage role since the 2005 revival of “A Soldier’s Play.”

The actor is currently in production on the second season of Steven Bochco’s crime drama “Murder in the First,” which will premiere June 8 on TNT.
