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.    

"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
