FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Theater review: 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch'
8 / 10

Everyone knows Neil Patrick Harris is a versatile actor and singer. But in 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch,' which opened Tuesday night at the Belasco Theatre, his performance profile takes a visceral leap forward. As Hedwig, a (mostly) transgendered East German rock singer, he gives one of the Broadway season's fiercest, most compelling - and funniest - portrayals.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Belasco Theatre, New York – review
8 / 10

Audiences flocking to this 95-minute entertainment, with book by John Cameron Mitchell and music and lyrics by Stephen Trask, may not think they have signed up for the first session of an undergraduate philosophy seminar. They have come to see Harris, a major American television star owing to How I Met Your Mother, give glam rock a workout. But the evening, even with the longueurs of its storytelling, manages to make us think about not just gender-based aspects of love but also the cold war, cheap American pop music, and the price of fame...A veteran not only of sitcoms but also of gender-bending stage shows such as Rent and Cabaret, Harris is ideally experienced to deliver Hedwig's low jokes as well as its rock 'n' roll kick-outs and tearful ballads.
