Hedwig And The Angry Inch is a critically acclaimed and multiple Tony Award-winning
Broadway rock theater hit, which tells the story of the "internationally ignored"; genderqueer
punk-rock singer, Hedwig– a German immigrant who is the victim of a botched sex-change
operation.
The story describes her search for stardom and love and is told by Hedwig directly to the
audience through monologue. The show is in the form of a rock concert and features 12 hard-
rocking songs with a live band.
Hedwig And The Angry Inch is a musically genius wild ride… funny, touching, and ultimately
inspiring to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.
Jordon Carnegie (Hedwig) has been a performer for over 20 years. He received a BroadwayWorld nomination for Best Actor in a Musical in a 2015 regional production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Jordon is joined by vocal powerhouse Yoalli Guerrero as Yitzak, his co-star and backing
vocalist.
The show’s run time is 90 minutes - with no intermission.

“The best rock musical ever.” - Rolling Stone
“It is utterly fascinating, with a far more punk aesthetic than one would associate with a musical. A truly inventive and amazing creation worth hearing.”
“… this tale of a transexual would-be rock star is a bizarrely visionary masterpiece. And the songs are all fantastic. The huge cult surrounding this film and stage show is completely justified.”
“I was aware of its status as a queer cult film, but I'm fatally cynical of musicals - something trying to get past - so I'd put off watching this for ages. After finally watching it, I'm very glad I
did.”
“I'm not typically one for musicals but I sing along with every damn song when it comes to Hedwig. It's moving, humorous, and beautifully acted/written. John Cameron Mitchell [writer] is brilliant.
