Hedwig And The Angry Inch
John Cameron Mitchell, Stephen Trask
Musical Rock, created Off-Broadway in 1998, immediately won an Obie Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical.
Since then, Hedwig and the Angry Inch has continued to be performed in the USA and around the world: UK, Brazil, Canada, Austria, Czech Republic, Israel, Germany, South Korea, Mexico, Italy, Thailand, etc., and has since made a name for itself among the “big shows” on Broadway.
In 2014, the Broadway production with Neil Patrick Harris in the title role won four Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical.
Hedwig, a transgender singer, tells the audience directly about the high points of her flayed life, before a spectacular finale that thumbs its nose at her destiny.
The concept of the show, conceived as a clever mise en abyme, allows the audience to attend one of the concerts on the tour of transgender singer Hedwig and her band The Angry Inch. During the show, Hedwig gives herself completely to the audience, and between her songs – each in the color of the story she’s telling – confides in us about her chaotic journey, from adolescence to her presence here tonight.
