HEDWIG ROCKS MELBOURNE! ONLY 13 SHOWS LEFT MUST CLOSE 1 OCT

"Hedwig and the Angry Inch is an enthralling live show..90 minutes of
high-adrenaline hooning along the rock 'n 'roll superhighway. Hold onto your
seats."

 Cameron Woodhead  - The Age

"This gut-busting rock show is also a journey of self-discovery..hilarious
and poignant, vulnerable and outrageous." Kate Herbert - Herald Sun

"Let's cut to the chase Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the most exciting piece
of music theatre to hit Sydney in years and is shaping up as one of 2006's
essential theatre experiences.  Miss this and you'll be sorry"  Jason Blake
- The Sun Herald

"There's more than enough appeal in the savagely witty, trash-talking
surface and raucous rock-punk-country-ballad-whatever score." The Australian

"iOTA in the title role is amazing. He finds the tenderness, the glamour,
the trashiness"  Veronica Hannon - Sx News

"Aussie Hedwig isn't a musical, it's a rock extravaganza.  There is only one
thing you have to do: See it! See it! See it!"  Mar Garvey-  Drum Media

Hedwig and the Angry Inch explores the themes of bittersweet regret,
disappointment and the strength to survive. The love child of Marlene
Dietrich and Ziggy Stardust, Hedwig will rock into the Athenaeum Theatre
Melbourne. 

Starring rock sensation iOTA as `Hedwig` and Blazey Best as ` Yitzhak', the
duo nurture the dramatic notes of the internationally celebrated cult-rock
musical Hedwig and The Angry Inch while delivering a high voltage glam rock
performance that fans have been dying to see. 

Melbourne audiences will experience what David Bowie says is `the most
wholly rounded piece of rock theatre we have seen in years.` Vulnerable and
gritty, iOTA as `Hedwig` turns in an explosive, critically acclaimed
performance, weaving a reach tapestry of duplicity, loneliness, love and
stardom. 

Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a rock 'n' roll odyssey tracing the fate of an
East Berlin boy (Hansel), whose escape to the west can only happen via a
tragic sex change operation and marriage to American G.I, 'sugar-daddy'
Luther, Hansel, now Hedwig, is left with a one-inch reminder of her past and
a few anger management issues.
