Hedwig and the Angry Inch at Woodlawn Pointe

Texas Light Opera presents a unique production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch this summer. The smash rock musical touches on themes such as love and loss, overcoming personal tragedy, the power dynamics inherent in human relationships, mental illness and issues of gender and identity.Hedwig opened Off-Broadway in 1998 and won the Obie Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical. The story follows Hedwig Robinson (Roy Thomas), a transgender East German singer of a fictional rock-n-roll band, who is the victim of a botched sex change operation which has left him, now her, with just an angry inch. The rock singers relentless search for love and her other half is performed in song and monologue in the form of a gig backed by a rock band The Angry Inch. Notable songs painting the picture include The Origin of Love and Sugar Daddy. Multi-award winning actress and director, Morgan Clyde, will play the role of Yitzhak, one of Hedwigs love interests and a singer in the band. The production is a conglomeration of a theatrical performance, rock concert and standup/improv. The performers routinely interact with the audience and break through the fourth wall. Performances will feature pre-show opening acts from local performance troupes including musicians, street performers, drag artists and burlesque performers.
