Hedwig and the Angry Inch, written by John Cameron Mitchell with music and lyrics by Stephen Trask, comes to Washington, DC for four performances only. This punk rock, hard rock, glam rock musical will be accompanied by a Halloween "Spooktacular" at The Warehouse. This Obie-winning Off-Broadway musical tells the story of "internationally ignored song stylist" Hedwig Schmidt. Hedwig performs across the country relating her story of growing up as Hansel, an East German "slip of a girlyboy" who loves philosophy and rock music. He meets a U.S. soldier who falls in love with him and in Hansel's desperation to escape Communist Germany, the two decide to marry. However, in order to be married, Hansel must become a woman. Hansel's mother, Hedwig, gives her son her name, passport and the name of a doctor to perform a sex change. The operation is botched, and Hansel - now Hedwig - is left with a one-inch mound of flesh between her legs...her angry inch. This production of "Hedwig," produced by Charlie Fink and Anne S. Kohn, starring Chris French and Aleque Reid and directed by Joshua Morgan, returns to the Warehouse after playing sold-out shows this past June. For this limited Halloween engagement, the show will be accompanied by the "Spooktacular" featuring the devil dancing go-go girls, the haunting box of blades performed by international renowned magicians Clara and Sal Martini, a $100 costume contest hosted by Ms. Hedwig herself, and music from the Super Bon-Bons.
