"The most wholly rounded piece of ROCK theatre we have seen in years" David
Bowie

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH tells the story of Hedwig Schmidt, the unfortunate
victim of a gruesomely botched sex-change operation, and an "internationally
ignored song-stylist". Her journey to find true love, "her other half", is a
rock and roll odyssey which leads her across the Berlin Wall, across the
world, and from man to woman. 

Hedwig begins her journey as Hansel, a young boy growing up in Germany under
a Stalinesque regime, and the equally strict regime of his mother. He finds
what he believes to be an escape from his dreary existence in the form of a
handsome "sugar daddy" - an American G.I. named Luther, who promises to take
him away from Germany. The caveat, however, is that Luther can only take a
bride back to America. Desperate to escape his situation, Hansel willingly
agrees to a sex-change operation - an operation which is botched, leaving
Hedwig with a one-inch reminder of her past. 

Abandoned by her husband, living a down-and-out existence in America,
Hedwig's journey to find her other half seems to have ground to a halt.
Having fallen in love again, this time with Tommy Gnosis, who leaves her
when he becomes a Rock and Roll Superstar, Hedwig takes stock of her
situation and forms her own band: The Angry Inch. 

"The first rock musical that truly rocks" Rolling Stone Magazine 

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH was originally presented at the Westbeth Theatre
Centre on 27 February 1997. It opened off-Broadway at the Jane Street
Theatre on 14 February 1998. The show was an instant hit, honoured at the
OBIE (off-Broadway) awards, and nominated for 4 Drama Desk awards, including
Outstanding Musical, Music, Lyrics, and Actor (John Cameron Mitchell). The
cast recording was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Musical Show Album.
This production closed on 9 April 2000 - a three-year run. 

HEDWIG toured extensively in the USA (LA Production was produced by David
Bowie) as well as productions in Canada, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Germany,
Philippines, and the UK (UK national tour is still running!). 

2001 saw the release of the New line Cinema Feature Film of HEDWIG which won
two awards at the Sundance Film Festival (Director's Award and Audience
Award) and over 18 International and USA film awards including the Berlin
International Film Festival's prestigious Teddy Award for Best Picture and
Best Foreign Film at the British International Film Festival. 

In 2004, a celebrity album 'Wig In A Box' was released celebrating the songs
from HEDWIG. Artists included Cyndi Lauper, Rufus Wainwright, Ben Folds,
Yoko Ono and many more. 

Now it is Australia's turn to get that WIG down off the shelf and experience
the best roller coaster rock show since The Rocky Horror Show LIVE ON-STAGE.
