Award-Winning Musical

The musical “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” by John Cameron Mitchell, with music and lyrics by Stephen Trask, has had an extraordinary impact on audiences since its first off-Broadway production in 1998. Winner of the prestigious Tony Award, Obie Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, the show has received acclaim in hundreds of productions on stages around the world. The play was screened in 2001, with the film receiving the best director award at the Sundance Film Festival and a Golden Globe nomination.

The Story of Hedwig

“Hedwig and the Angry Inch” tells the story of an existence that turns between seeking success on the stage and finding satisfaction in a noisy, wicked existence. The incredible trials that Hedwig goes through, but especially the commitment and sensitivity that she reveals to the audience on rock chords, have made the piece weave a cult vibe for those who like the musical genre. Hedwig is not a manifesto for some kind of sexuality, but a theatrical experience with a very human message that encourages openness and empathy towards the suffering that all human beings, in fact, feel.
