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

This was a great show! It is a little slow in the beginning to "set-up" the storyline, but there are some really great scares towards the end of the first act and most of the second act.

The actors are excellent. Kudos to them! The Woman in Black is a show that is very popular in London, so I am glad I got to see it here in Orange County. Bring a date and she will be sure to wrap her arms around you when the scary parts are near.

More Information About The Woman in Black

Description

Adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the Book by Susan Hill
Directed by Stephen Hulsey

Arthur Kipps, a middle-aged solicitor, hires a theatre and the services of a professional actor to help him re-enact, and thereby hopefully exorcise, a ghostly event which befell him many years previously with horrifyingly tragic results. Still running in London’s West End after 20 years, The Woman In Black treads in the footsteps of the classic ghost story, following the tradition of Charles Dickens and Henry James. It relies on atmosphere, a vivid sense of place, on hints and glimpses and suggestions, on what is shadowy, heard and sometimes only half-seen, to chill the audience’s blood to the marrow. Not for the faint of heart.
