Hedwig and The Angry Inch opens Nov. 3
Three Rivers Music Theatre production of Hedwig and The Angry Inch opens Friday, Nov. 3, at their new location at 416 W. 4th St.
This ground-breaking Obie-winning Off-Broadway smash that took Broadway by storm in its Tony–winning 2014 revival also won multiple awards for its hit film adaptation.
It’s the story of “internationally ignored song stylist” Hedwig Schmidt, a fourth-wall smashing East German rock n’ roll goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation.
This outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig (née Hansel) in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine backed by the hard-rocking band The Angry Inch.
Using songs and monologues, Hedwig tells her story in a rocking ride, funny, touching, and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.
