On the Cripe Stage… This groundbreaking Obie-winning Off-Broadway smash that took Broadway by storm 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 (née 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 and her life’s search for “The Origin of Love.” 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. NOTE: This show contains mature subject matter, strong language, and other potentially triggering content. *** WINNER of 4 Tony Awards (2014), including Best Revival of a Musical *** WINNER of 2 Drama Desk Awards (2014), including Outstanding Revival of a Musical *** WINNER of Outer Critics Circle Award (1998) for Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical “The best rock musical ever” Rolling Stone “Furiously entertaining with a heartwarming message” New York Magazine “Dynamite! This frisky, raunchy fable of love, loss, fury and freedom thrives” Daily News Executive Producers Susan Bowman & Freddie Greenfield Associate Producers Rachelle Menaker & Eddie Schuller Season Producers Bette & Wylie Aitken Associate Season Producer The Family of Mary Kay Fyda-Mar
