Stephen Trask's 1998 rock musical is about a fictional rock and roll band fronted by an East German transgender singer. The music is steeped in the 1970s glam rock era of David Bowie.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The complete companion to the international hit cult musical. Hedwig tells the story of internationally ignored song stylist Hedwig Schmidt, the victim of a gruesomely botched sex-change operation, and is dazzlingly recounted by Hedwig (née Hansel) in the form of a sleazy lounge act and backed by the band The Angry Inch. Innovative, inspired and oddly endearing, Hedwig is a spectacular love story that has been knocking the socks off New York theatre-goers with a much-needed jolt of twisted bathos and wigged-out histrionics (The Advocate).
