If you knock a few back before the show, pee first. 90 minutes, no breaak

The "bar" sign isn't just a part of the set; you can go into Martyr's for drinks during the show

My friend and I summed this up at the end: we liked this a lot better than the movie (and we're both fans of the movie). Nick Garrison does a phenomenal job as Hed, the backup band is wonderful, Yitzhak is terrific, the offstage voice of Tommy Gnosis is dead-on. The screen projection works beautifully with the set design, the sound design is just perfect with all the levels of sound throughout the show.Written on May 18 2009
Go- go- go!
I think I'm going back, this time with my Hedwig wig.

Even though we got half price tickets with Goldstar, this event would have been worth the full price. "Hedwig" took you up and down-slamming you around on an emotional journey before lifting you up to soar again at the end. He has a fantastic voice and stage presence. Great casting this actor. The band inside the pseudo nightclub set totally worked with the intimate nature of the theatre. I recommend it highly.Written on May 04 2009

Amazing performance!!! Also, this stage production has a totally different feel than the film, so even though much of the dialogue is the same, it wasn't predictable and I learned much more about the character, Hedwig.Written on May 18 2009

Description
<p>Music and lyrics by Stephen Trask
Book and lyrics by John Cameron Mitchell
Directed by Artistic Director PJ Paparelli</p>
<p>Winner of the 2001 Obie Award and Outer Circle Critics Award for best Off-Broadway Musical, Hedwig and the Angry Inch tells the story of a young East German who discovers that the only way to escape communism and come to the United States is to give up a little part of himself. Yes, through a bit of surgery, Hansel becomes Hedwig, marries, and embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. In its first rock musical ever, American Theater Company transforms its theatrical warehouse into an underground nightclub for a concert event not to be missed.</p>
<p>Anticipating a New York revival, the authors gave ATC special permission to produce this re-imagined version set in an underground rock venue in Chicago. To enhance the nightclub ambiance, ATC has re-orientated the theatre space and replaced many seats with an eclectic mix of loveseats, couches and chairs. In addition, ATC will open the door between the theater and its neighbor, Martyrs Restaurant and Pub, allowing audience members access to beverages during the show.</p>
<p>"We want to thank John and Stephen for allowing us to produce this version of Hedwig," says ATC Artistic Director PJ Paparelli. “This is a Hedwig like none before. Think Blondie meets Bowie. Chicago needs to have an exuberant theatre experience and that's what Hedwig is. Great music. Great theatricality. Great emotions. Besides the mind-blowing score, this show is all about the new America: searching for its true identity and embracing its diversity."</p>
