The lead in this production is Hector Manuel, who’s unfaltering German accent and suggestive performance is fantastic.

But really, any staging of this show is only as good as its Hedwig, and this production has a great one in Hector Manuel, playing the rock diva with a sly smirk and a leggy strut.” “Manuel and Stewart sing the hell out of the show’s fantastic songs
— Adam Lubitow, City Newspaper
Hector was one minute funny and engaging as she worked her way through the crowd breaking down the fourth wall, and then passionate and heartfelt the next as she sung about love and loss. Oh, and she totally rocked the fishnets too.
— Colin Fleming-Stumpf, Broadway World (Central NY)
…Hector Manuel provides an energetic presence with strong vocals…and a spot-on sense for comedic timing.
— Leah Stacy, City Newspaper
Hector Manuel’s portrayal of Warren was a refreshing balance of comedy to the edgy stress of Kit Prelewitz’s Deb... I particularly liked Hector’s ability to insert humor within each of his scenes…

Rochester born, but a New Yorker at heart, Hector has had the wonderful privilege to be a part of a number of all-star casts in a myriad of powerful roles, as well as hold multiple positions on creative teams. From playing the ultimate powerhouse, Hedwig in Hedwig & The Angry Inch, to portraying the carefree character of Warren in Ordinary Days, Hector has become a jack of all trades in the theater community and transitions from performer to production team member with ease. Hector has also been featured in a variety of hit productions such as the world premiere production of Two Tickets Of Paradise: The Eddie Money Musical (Billy), featuring Eddie Money as himself, Dog Sees God (Beethoven) (Winner of the 2019 Best Of Rochester award for “Best Performance Produced By A Local Theater Group”), Oliver! (The Artful Dodger), and Thank You For Being A Friend: A Golden Girls Parody (Ricky Martin). Having had the opportunity to work within strong theater communities in both New York City and Rochester as an actor, director, and choreographer, Hector has sharpened his theatrical intuition and is well equipped to handle any role that comes his way.
