Hedwig and the Angry Inch at Civic Center of Greater Des Moines

Special 15th Anniversary Bonus Production. Winner of the Outer Critics Circle and Obie Awards for Best Off-Broadway Musical.

She’s back! We pay tribute to our first 14 years by reviving one of our most acclaimed hit musicals! This groundbreaking, Off-Broadway smash tells the story of "internationally ignored song stylist" Hedwig Schmidt, a fourth-wall smashing East German rock 'n' roll goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation. This outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine backed by the hard-rocking band "The Angry Inch."
