Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Madison Performance Collective
Steve Knoll
(past pick) The Tony Award-winning Hedwig and the Angry Inch is definitely not your mom’s feel-good, romantic musical. The title character (played on Broadway by such luminaries as Neil Patrick Harris, Andrew Rannells, Darren Criss and Taye Diggs) is a glamorous transgender rock performer who grew up as a “slip of a girlyboy” in East Berlin under communism. After a botched sex-change operation, Hedwig is left with a useless “angry inch” of skin, among many other disappointments. Directed by Dana Pellebon, it’s sure to be a lively, loud and irreverent exploration of identity and gender. We’re pumped to see the marvelous Sean Langenecker in the starring role.
press release: After a successful run this July, Madison Performance Collective is pleased to bring Hedwig and the Angry Inch back to The Crucible for two nights, Dec 13 and 14 at 7PM, doors open at 6:30PM. Tickets available in advance, or at the door. A portion of proceeds will be donated to DAIS- Madison.
