Hedwig and the Angry Inch Tickets at Athenaeum Theatre One

★★★★★
“Astonishing”
The Guardian

It’s the off-Broadway smash that took the ‘rock musical’ on a proper glam-punk bender. Now it’s strutting into RISING, in a new Australian production that celebrates the anarchic spirit of the original.

Seann Miley Moore twists the lipstick as Hedwig—a “slip of a girly boy” Berliner who goes to marry an American soldier but ends up abandoned in Kansas, on the cusp of another doomed romance. Torn by an idealistic vision of love and the urge to burn it all down. Hedwig is poised with a battered mic and a rhythm section full of Korean-born military wives, ready to test the limits of self-creation.

This Hedwig is backed by a killer live band and dressed by queer design icons Nicol & Ford. It’s all fishnets and fury. A sardonic scream for anyone who’s ever dreamt of escape or fallen into the fever of a perfect rock song.

“Astonishing...the electrifying gender-bender we need right now” — The Guardian

Seann Miley Moore (Miss Saigon) delivers a show-stopping performance as Hedwig, described as "lightning in a bottle” (InDaily) and “nothing short of astounding” (Australian Arts Review).

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical, this genre-defying sensation has been hailed by Rolling Stone as “the best rock musical ever.”  Featuring iconic songs including “The Origin of Love,” “Midnight Radio,” and “Sugar Daddy,” this electrifying production is a celebration of love, survival, and self-acceptance.

With a blistering live band, razor-sharp humour, and a story that is as hilarious as it is heart-wrenching, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is an unmissable theatrical event.
