Hedwig and the Angry Inch by Trask, S., Fra (2024/2024), I regi av Cornelia Maschner, Dirigent Stefan Leibold, Staatstheater Augsburg - brechtbühne im Gaswerk, Augsburg, Germany

Hedwig, the queen of glam rock, is coming to Augsburg on her tour! She is giving one of her rousing concerts with her band The Angry Inch. Between the songs - sometimes rock numbers, sometimes country ballads - that tell of her life and the search for her own identity, she comes closer to the audience than ever before. You shouldn't miss this show! The musical, which premiered in New York in 1998, has written a unique success story. First shown off-Broadway, with John Cameron Mitchell as Hedwig, it moved to the big screen just a few years later and was adapted into a film. The work was also a success internationally, both as a play and as a film. The Broadway premiere finally followed in 2014, with Neil Patrick Harris as the lead actor, who won four Tony Awards. This is just the latest proof of the cult status that the rock musical and its main character, the drag queen Hedwig, have achieved.
