Hedwig and the Angry Inch
June 23, 2022 at 7:30 pm – July 30, 2022 at 9:00 pm PDT
Text by John Cameron Mitchell, Music and Lyrics by Stephen Trask
Starring Adam Rennie* as Hedwig
Directed by Aaron Lamb
The place: The State Theater. The time: The early-mid 90s. The opening act: local bands including Sugar and the Spitfires, Monkflower, Keven James Hoffman, Golden Ruins, and Smelly Cat. The Berlin Wall is down. Gender is a construct. Just try and tear her down. This is Hedwig in punk rock Olympia, WA.
Brilliantly innovative, heartbreaking, and wickedly funny, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the landmark musical by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask that is “groundbreaking and undoubtedly ahead of its time” (Entertainment Weekly). This genre-bending, fourth-wall-smashing musical sensation, with a pulsing score and electrifying performances, tells the story of one of the most unique characters to ever hit the stage. Winner of four 2014 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival, Hedwig will take you by storm!
“The most exciting rock score written for the theatre since, oh, ever!” – Time Magazine
