About this title

Synopsis

The complete text and lyrics to Broadway’s smash rock musical that’s “electrically tuneful and furiously funny” (New York Times)

Hedwig and the Angry Inch, “the best rock musical ever” (Rolling Stone) follows the journey of “internationally ignored song stylist” Hedwig Schmidt, victim of a botched sex-change operation, as dazzlingly recounted by Hedwig (née Hansel) herself in the form of a lounge act, backed by the rock band The Angry Inch, and transported to the Belasco Theatre “for one night only” and taking over the set for Hurt Locker: The Musical.

This edition contains the updated book and lyrics from the smash Broadway production starring Neil Patrick Harris of John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask’s landmark American musical.
