A smash hit off Broadway and on, this Obie-winning musical tells the story of internationally-ignored song stylist and problematic non-binary trans icon Hedwig Schmidt.

Backed by their hard-rocking band, “The Angry Inch,” Hedwig tells the hilarious and heartbreaking story of their chaotic and difficult life, their relationship to the rock superstar Tommy Gnosis, and Tommy’s ride to fame on the songs Hedwig wrote for him during their brief relationship. It’s rocking, funny, touching, and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.
