CBS’ hit ensemble comedy, How I Met Your Mother might be ending its nine season run later this year, but that does not mean there are not a few more all new episodes left to enjoy. The final four episodes start tonight, with the hour long series finale airing at the end of the month. Meanwhile, Neil Patrick Harris has already moved on to his next gig, starring in the Broadway debut of the cult musical, Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Tonight the final four episodes (Three if you count the hour long finale as one episode) begin. The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new showing, titled, “Gary Baluman,” reads:
“The wedding-day arrival of enigmatic Gary Blauman throws the gang into an uproar as they all recall their various encounters with him.”
It didn’t take long for Neil Patrick Harris to find his next job after the show. The four time Tony host is aiming for his first Tony Award win by starring in the broadway debut of Hedwig and The Angry Inch. Harris will be taking over the role played by Hedwig creator, John Cameron Mitchell’s from the original film and off Broadway run. Harris recently spoke to the NY Times about the gig:
“John would say very nasty things, but he did it in a way that was incredibly enjoyable. I don’t know how to do that yet.”
The show’s director Michael Mayer has complete faith in Harris, after seeing the actor rock out in a preview:
“The Rockwood set went really well, and there was one thing that was unexpected,Neil was supposed to rip off his shirt during the ‘Angry Inch’ number, but instead he did it earlier, during ‘Sugar Daddy,’ a song about sexual power. He was experiencing a pure sexual power that he had over the audience. It was undeniable. He could have had anyone he wanted in that moment.”
