 "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.10/10"
The Sun Herald

 

Rock 'n' Roll odyssey HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH returns to SYDNEY for a
strictly limited season from 1 February 2007 at the Tom Mann Theatre, Surry
Hills. 

 

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH traces the fate of 'Hansel' an East Berlin boy
whose escape to the west can only happen via a sex change and marriage to an
American G.I.  Hansel now 'Hedwig' becomes the unfortunate victim of a
gruesomely botched operation leaving a one-inch reminder of the past and a
few anger management issues.  

 

Starring six times ARIA nominated rock sensation iOTA who has made this
performance one of the greatest 'star' turns this country has ever seen.

 

Producer David Hawkins of Showtune Productions worked for four years to
create an Australian version of this high voltage cult-rock musical.  "The
pedigree for Hedwig is extraordinary.  Fans were clamoring for an Australian
season and our cast and production blew people's minds... that's why I've
brought it back for a return season."

 

Hedwig the love child of Marlene Dietrich and Ziggy Stardust and
"internationally ignored song-stylist" explores the themes of bittersweet
regret, disappointment and the strength to survive.   

 

"the most wholly rounded piece of rock theatre we have seen in years."
David Bowie

 

 "A live performance powerhouse, iOTA delivers 90 minutes of high-adrenaline
hooning along the rock'n'roll super highway. Hold onto your seats."  The Age

 

 "In a word, oh okay, in eleven words, it's one of the best productions of
any show I've seen! From the stage set, to the lighting, to the costume
design, to every cast member, Aussie Hedwig is top shelf stuff."  Drum Media
