HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH
SYNOPSIS: From East Berlin to Junction City comes an electric tale of glitter, grit, and gnosis. On a revenge tour across the nation, punk goddess Hedwig Robinson, born Hansel Schmidt, recounts her high-octane journey in search of her other half. With a pulsing rock score, this groundbreaking smash hit musical triumph is for anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.
HEDWIG (CAST / seeking understudy) - character pronouns: she/her (genderqueer/genderfluid). 20s 40s. A ‘slip of a girly boy from Communist East Berlin’ turned lead singer and musical genius of the punk rock band ‘The Angry Inch’, on a revenge tour across the nation. Born Hansel Schmidt, Hedwig underwent a botched sex change operation to escape Berlin. A force of nature, Hedwig is equal parts rock goddess, stand-up comedian, cosmic philosopher, and vulnerable human being. Americanized German accent. Includes masculine and feminine presentations.
YITZHAK - character pronouns: he/him (non-binary). 20s-40s. Hedwig’s husband and roadie/back-up singer. A former drag queen who married Hedwig to leave Zagreb. Devoted, loyal, loving, and perhaps more talented than Hedwig - a possibility that causes much strain in their relationship. Bound by the constraints of traditional masculinity, but longs to explore a more feminine side. Unafraid of rebellion in small, controlled doses. Croatian accent. Includes masculine and feminine presentations.
