Hedwig and the Angry Inch

This groundbreaking Obie-winning Off-Broadway smash that took Broadway by storm in its Tony-Award – winning 2014 revival also won multiple awards for its hit film adaptation.  It tells the story of “internationally ignored song stylist” Hedwig Schmidt, a fourth-wall smashing East German rock ‘n’ roll goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation, which has left her with just “an angry inch.”  This outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig (née Hansel) in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine backed by the hard-rocking band “The Angry Inch.”  Using songs and monologues, Hedwig tells her story.  It’s a rocking ride, funny, touching, and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.
