Hedwig and The Angry Inch
Broadway’s iconic queer rock and roll musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch is coming to Hong Kong – performed in Cantonese, no less. The story follows Hedwig, a performer from the former East Berlin, who is abandoned by a string of lovers after a botched gender-affirming surgery. She then sets out on a tour of reinvention and revenge with her band, The Angry Inch. If you’ve never seen the musical before, expect to be taken on a riotous ride of redemption, hatred, desire, and love by the resentful yet vulnerable Hedwig, boosted by a tremendous score of rock music.
Hedwig and The Angry Inch will take the stage at the WestK Freespace for eight shows from May 10 to 17. Look out for the post-show DJ parties every night, where theatre goers can work out some of the energy from watching the show to classic hits from the 70s and 80s and electronic dance music. Tickets are available from $688 for standing access to $1,088 for a seated VIP experience which includes two drinks, canapes, a fast pass, and a meet-and-greet with Hedwig herself.
