City Theatre Reveals Cast And Creative Team For HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH
The production will run May 2–June 7, 2026 at the Greer Cabaret, starring Treasure Treasure.
City Theatre will present a reimagined revival of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH at the Greer Cabaret from May 2 through June 7, 2026, produced in partnership with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. The production, directed by Robert Ramirez, head of the School of Drama at Carnegie Mellon University, features music supervision by Rick Edinger and music direction by Ben Brosche.
The company first staged Hedwig in 2003. This new staging marks City Theatre’s first revival of the production, which will return to downtown Pittsburgh for a spring engagement. Treasure Treasure will star as Hedwig, with Theo Allyn appearing as Yitzhak. Additional band members for the Angry Inch will be announced in spring 2026.
Speaking on the role, Treasure shared, “Hedwig is a torchbearer for the human spirit. I was only two months old when the wall fell. A longing for liberation and the search for home have been tenets of my life.”
Treasure Treasure will star as Hedwig. Theo Allyn will appear as Yitzhak. The full Angry Inch band lineup will be announced at a later date.
The creative team includes scenic design by Britton Mauk, costume design by Daniele Tyler Mathews, lighting design by Andrew David Ostrowski, sound design by Zachary Beattie-Brown, and media content design by Scott Andrew. Patti Kelly will serve as production stage manager.
The Tony Award–winning musical follows Hedwig, an East German performer recounting her life story, personal history, and search for connection. Known for its blend of humor, rock music, and emotional candor, the musical remains a landmark work exploring identity, resilience, and self-expression. City Theatre first staged the production in 2003.
