Hedwig and the Angry Inch Sing-A-Long
Innovative Hedwig shadowcast troupe Midnight Radio will perform along with the film and lead the sing-a-long in this Glam Rock Odyssey. Tickets are $12, advance tickets are recommended. Adapted from the critically acclaimed off-Broadway rock musical hit, the film, Hedwig and The Angry Inch, tells the story of an ‘internationally ignored’ rock singer, Hedwig, and her search for stardom and love. Born a boy named Hansel whose life’s dream is to find his other half, Hedwig reluctantly submits to a sex change operation in order to marry an American G.I. and get over the Berlin Wall to freedom. The operation is botched, leaving her with the aforementioned ‘angry inch’. Through a collage of amazing songs, comedic monologues, flashbacks and animation, Hedwig tells her tumultuous life story in a way that reinvented the rock musical. Chicago-based live fan shadowcast troupe Midnight Radio will perform simultaneously onstage along with the 2001 Sundance Award winning film, Rocky Horror style, leading the audience sing-a-long and immersive interactive participation experience. Featuring flamboyant costumes, outrageous hijinks, and special surprises, this show is a must see! Calling all Hed-heads-- lift up your hands and sing-a-long with Hedwig! For fans of rock music, sing-a-longs, musicals, cult films and/or just plain fantabulous fun, this is a don't miss event! Get your tickets today!
