A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Praise for the Broadway production of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH:
 
“Harris is beyond fabulous, holds nothing back and plays it anyway but safe in Michael Mayer’s exhilarating production . . . The beauty of Mitchell and Trask’s show is that it takes the strangest of bedfellows—camp, punk and pathos—and blends them into something unexpectedly poignant.”   —David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
 
“Neil Patrick Harris simply crushes it . . . the songs ‘Wicked Little Town,’ ‘Origin of Love’ and ‘Wig in a Box’ deserve to be on iPods everywhere.”   —Mark Kennedy, Associated Press
 
“Mr. Harris is in full command of who he is and, most excitingly, what he has become with this performance. That’s a bona fide Broadway star, the kind who can rule an audience with the blink of a sequined eyelid . . . Electrically tuneful and furiously funny . . . an unqualified pleasure. Hedwig is a shamelessly enjoyable show.”   —Ben Brantley, The New York Times
 
“For all the cleverness of the book and the pathos of Hedwig the character, this is a true rock concert . . . Harris’s bravura performance manages to integrate about 30 years of rock musical styles . . . a spectacular revival.”   —Marilyn Stasio, Variety
 
“[In] John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask’s brilliant rock musical . . . Harris offers up a bravura, frequently thrilling, deeply committed, self-pushing performance . . .”
—Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
 
“Dynamite! John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask’s frisky, raucous musical survives and thrives.”   —Joe Dziemianowicz, Daily News
 
“Furiously entertaining with a heartwarming message.”  —Jesse Green, New York magazine
 
“Makes Broadway rock harder than ever before . . . Stephen Trask’s glam-rock tunes still induce euphoria.”   —David Cote, TimeOut New York
 
“ . . . Hedwig's tragicomic essence remains the same, and Harris, under Michael Mayer's razor-sharp direction, serves it with a blazingly entertaining and ultimately moving performance.”
—Elysa Gardner, USA Today

Hedwig and the Angry Inch, “the best rock musical ever” (Rolling Stone) follows the journey of “internationally ignored song stylist” Hedwig Schmidt, victim of a botched sex-change operation, as dazzlingly recounted by Hedwig (née Hansel) herself in the form of a lounge act, backed by the rockband The Angry Inch, and transported to the Belasco Theatre “for one night only” and taking over the set for Hurt Locker: The Musical. This new edition contains the updated book and lyrics from the smash Broadway production starring Neil Patrick Harris of John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask’s landmark American musical.
