John Cameron Mitchell's outrageous musical comedy Hedwig and the Angry Inch centers around Hedwig, a young East German man who discovers that the only way to escape communism and come to America is to give up -- surgically -- a little part of himself. Hedwig's story is presented through a as a rock concert/stand-up comedy gig format in which the charismatic singer takes the audience on an emotional roller coaster ride through the funny, touching, painful and ultimately inspiring experience of being Hedwig. The fantastic rock score has been winning fans and acclaim since the musical first debuted a decade ago. The musical won a Village Voice Obie Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical on its debut. Creator John Cameron Mitchell went on to star in and direct the award-winning 2001 film version of Hedwig, which became a cult hit that continues to play at midnight movies. Learn More

I hadn't seen the movie or the play before, so I went in with an open mind and was very impressed by everything about this production. It was an engaging story that I didn't want to end. In part due to a skillful delivery by the talented actors, I was drawn into the characters and wanted to see how things developed in their lives.Written on Jun 13 2011
It was also interesting to see how they coped with their challenges and some serious situations, which thankfully were lightened up with humor.
I'd definitely recommend seeing this production to other theater goers, or fans of the movie.

This play was perfectly cast and directed by Jason Holland. The all female actors seemed to have been together all of their lives! It certainly had the feel of a much larger more professional theater production. And the set was amazing. Run, do not walk, to the next season!Written on Jul 06 2011
