Best Musical Revival 2014 Tony Award \n\n"Furiously entertaining with a heartwarming message!" New York Magazine \n\n"Dynamite! This frisky\, raunchy fable of love\, loss\, fury and freedom thrives." Daily News \n\nBrilliantly innovative\, heartbreaking\, and wickedly funny\, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the landmark musical by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask that is "groundbreaking and undoubtedly ahead of its time" (Entertainment Weekly). This genre-bending\, fourth-wall-smashing musical sensation\, with a pulsing score and electrifying performances\, tells the story of one of the most unique characters to ever hit the stage. Hedwig and the Angry Inch played to record-breaking sell- out crowds on Broadway and took North America by storm with what Time Magazine proclaims is "the most exciting rock score written for the theatre since\, oh\, ever!"\n\n\n\nHedwig tells the story of "internationally ignored song stylist" Hedwig Schmidt\, a fourth-wall smashing East German rock 'n' roll goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation\, which has left her with just "an angry inch." This outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig (n e Hansel) in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine backed by the hard-rocking band "The Angry Inch." Using songs and monologues\, Hedwig tells her story\, which began in the former East Berlin where as Hansel he meets Luther\, an American GI who promises to take the young man to the States on the condition that he switch his sex. After the bungled operation\, Luther abandons newly named Hedwig in a Kansas trailer park\, where she turns to music and meets geeky Tommy Speck\, whom she takes under her wing and soon falls for. Tommy steals her songs\, achieves rock star fame\, and Hedwig is once again cast aside. She decides to demand redress and stalks Tommy's world tour\, performing in makeshift locations adjacent to wherever Tommy is appearing. Ophelia's Jump's production applies a fun meta-theatrical conceit in having Hedwig commandeer the leftover set of a recently closed production of Mother Courage. While hawking her wares directly from the stage\, Hedwig describes her life's search for "The Origin of Love" and her other half. It's a rocking ride\, funny\, touching\, and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.\n\n \nTitle: Hedwig and the Angry Inch\n\nFeaturing: Michael Davanzo as Hedwig and Janelle Kester as Yitzhak\n\nWritten By: John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask\n\nDirector: OJP Associate Artistic Director and Improv Director\, Caitlin Lopez\n\nMusic Director: Sean Alexander Bart X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
