HEDWIG & THE ANGRY INCH at FRINGE 2024

Winner of the Tony Award, Drama Desk, Drama League and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Outstanding Musical, Hedwig & The Angry Inch is the story of Hedwig Schmidt, an East German rock ‘n’ roll goddess who is the victim of a botched sex-change operation that leaves her with “an angry inch.” This outrageous & unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig in the form of a rock gig/storytelling routine backed by her band “The Angry Inch.”
