HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH Struts Into Orlando

Following the success of last year's sold-out production of The Rocky Horror Show,AntiGravity® Orlando and Red Fish Theatre are again teaming up to present a new twist on Hedwig and the Angry Inch to Central Florida audiences.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (text by John Cameron Mitchell, music and lyrics by Stephen Trask) is the hilarious, heart-breaking story of Hedwig, the transgender, "Internationally-ignored song stylist", and her riotous retelling of the conflicts she faces in her quest for fame, love, and rock-and-roll. Complete with heart-stopping aerial acts and a pulse-pounding score, Hedwig's story of love, acceptance, and celebrating the person you were meant to be has never been more relevant.

Red Fish Theatre Artistic Director Adam Graham (The Rocky Horror Show, A Midsummer Night's Dream) directs this exhilarating production, with Musical Direction by Ward Ferguson, and the AntiGravity® Orlando team creating their signature, heart-pounding aerial work.

Alternating each night between the roles of Hedwig and Yitzhak are Liz Kinder and Moses Galarza, providing audiences with two unique interpretations of the show. Joining the cast is Kelsey Morales as the standby for both roles, and performing the role of Hedwig on Ladies Night (October 28) opposite Liz Kinder. The cast includes AntiGravity® Orlando performers Ireland Cunningham, Daniela Roper, Nicole Sirdoreus, Amy Smith, Heather Stover, and Kyra Wagner. The live band is comprised of Zach Briggs, Ward Ferguson, Joel Weston Howard, and Jeremy Spangler. Pre-show warm-up hosts are Rauce Padgett (Oct. 20 and 21), Kermit Gonzalez (Oct. 23). Kirk Bonacci (Oct. 27 and 28), and Karl Anthony (Oct. 30).
