<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Showtuners,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hedwig opened at QPAC last Friday to a standing ovation and
sensational reviews, MICHAEL FALZON has taken the role in both hands and made
it his own he is really something. There is a level of stillness in his
acting that just enlightens the sensitivity of this most strange and exotic
character. To have that amazing voice on those songs also is an absolute
joy, I am very very proud of this NEW version of HEDWIG. Lucinda Shaw is
just stunning in her portrayal of Yitzhak, bringing to that role a voice of
gold and velvet, and an acting presence that captivates and intrigues the
audience. The electric bond between Michael and Lucinda from their
history of performing with each other adds a element to the tension that is
unique and diverse. Here are some highlights of the rave reviews below.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><i>“One rarely has the opportunity to witness
theatrical magic, but when the chance comes along it must be embraced at all
costs. Hedwig and the Angry Inch is one such opportunity.. Falzon is absolute
perfection in his portrayal of the troubled singer, capturing beautifully
Hedwig’s need to find her other half. His singing voice is sublime but it
really comes in second to his incredible acting ability – he expertly
navigates the moments of stillness and draws optimum laughs from the comedy. It
is difficult to imagine anyone else playing this role with the same balance of
honesty and utter showmanship.”</i> <b>TIME OFF, BRISBANE</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>“The show’s cult leanings and the star’s
knock-‘em-dead ranting and raving, made us hardly game to blink”</i>
<b>SUNDAY MAIL, BRISBANE</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>“Falzon fumed and ripped into his story..a convincing
rock belter”</i> <b>COURIER MAIL, BRISBANE</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“<i>Quite simply, </i><em><span style='font-family:
"Calibri","sans-serif";font-style:normal'>Hedwig</span></em><i> rocks the
house. Such is the spine-tingling force of the aural, the jarring assault of
the visual, Brisbane's intimate Cremorne Theatre was simply not designed to
withstand this... <strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
font-weight:normal'>Michael Falzon’s</span></strong><strong><span
style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> </span></strong>miraculous </i><em><span
style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";font-style:normal'>Hedwig</span></em><i>
is exhilarating and exhausting</i>.” <b>AUSTRALIAN STAGE<o:p></o:p></b></p>
