Tony Award & Drama Desk Winner “Best Musical Revival” 2014
Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Book by John Cameron Mitchell
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Trask
Directed by Allison F. Rich
May 30 - July 8, 2018

This Obie winning rock-musical tells the captivating story of Hedwig, a fourth-wall smashing genderqueer East German rock 'n' roll goddess. Backed by her punk rock band "The Angry Inch" Hedwig weaves her tragically beautiful journey; escaping East Berlin as Hansel and arriving in the Kansas trailer park as Hedwig. We follow Hedwig as she stalks Tommy Speck’s world tour. Divided between conqueror and victim Hedwig demands redress from Tommy for stealing her songs, her fame, and her love. Aided by her assistant, back-up singer and husband, Yitzhak, Hedwig tells her life story through a soaring rock score and side splitting monologues. This rockin’ ride exposes the polarity in us all.

“Hedwig’s tale of unity and acceptance is as relevant today as it was in its inception. She reminds us that we are the difference between a bridge and a wall. Hedwig is sure to inspire anyone who has ever felt they’ve been given an inch when they deserved a mile.” - Randall King | Artistic Director San Jose Stage Company
