Special preshow festivities! Sing along with live cast onstage!
Adapted from the critically acclaimed off-Broadway rock musical hit, the 2001 Sundance Award winning film Hedwig and The Angry Inch tells the story of an 'internationally ignored' rock singer, Hedwig, and her search for stardom and love. Born a boy named Hansel whose life's dream is to find his other half, Hedwig reluctantly submits to a sex change operation in order to marry an American G.I. and get over the Berlin Wall to freedom. The operation is botched, leaving her with the aforementioned 'angry inch'. Through a collage of amazing songs, comedic monologues, flashbacks and animation, Hedwig tells her tumultuous life story in a way that reinvented the rock musical.
Innovative Chicago-based HedHead fan troupe Midnight Radio will host this Glam Rock Odyssey! Featuring flamboyant costumes, outrageous hijinks, and special surprises, this show is a must see!
For fans of rock music, sing-a-longs, musicals, cult films and/or just plain fantabulous fun, this is a don't miss event!
