5:42 p.m. Hedwig’s sound designer Tim O’Heir says that anybody could get a lap dance or a kiss from Neil Patrick Harris tonight. “It’s whatever Hedwig wants, because Neil is gone at that point. He won’t remember a thing tomorrow. The persona will take over.” He says Harris picked “Sugar Daddy” because it is the song with the most audience participation and he wants people to “get excited …”

5:43 p.m “.. and embarrassed.”

5:53 p.m. Harris’s hair-and-makeup man for Hedwig, Mike Potter, says that when he gave Harris his first wig (custom-made with human hair for thousands of dollars), Harris insisted on taking it back to L.A. so he could walk around the house with it. “I told him he had to sleep with it, and carry it on the plane. I was like, ‘Do not check it! And if you have any pets, do not let them anywhere near the wig!'” Potter says the show is going to start selling Hedwig-themed glitter nail polish in the theater in the next few weeks.

1:18 a.m. Down in the Food Hall at the Plaza, Jonathan Groff takes selfies with friends. “Dude, that’s going to end up on Queerty!” one of them exclaims. We ask about the kiss he got from Hedwig during rehearsal. “He made out with me! It was amazing!” But it wasn’t as pre-arranged as Sting’s lap dance — he was given a seat and told he’d have an “audience-participation moment,” and that was it. Afterwards, “I went home, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I have glitter between my teeth!'”
