“Brilliantly innovative, heartbreaking, and wickedly funny, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is shamelessly enjoyable. Integrated with a pulsing score and an electrifying performance, it unravels the story of one of the most unique characters to ever hit the stage. As Mitchell and Trask’s spellbinding rock musical memoir, there is no other show quite like it, and I doubt there ever will be, given that it came about in the late 90’s and retained that twisted grunge-style indicative of the decade. So, for one of the hottest tickets in Orange County, contact Chance Theater while you can”
“A Landmark, Gender-Bending Musical Sensation!”
“Hedwig’s back-up singer—her ambiguously gendered Slavik lover, Yitzhak—winningly performed by Laura Herskov, also has vocal power that is truly amazing.”
“Tom Avery keeps us engaged throughout the one hour, forty-minute show (no intermission) with the perfect amount of androgyny, vocal chops and emotional clarity to pull off gut-wrenching songs like “Wicked Little Town” and the eerily beautiful poetry of “The Origin of Love.””
“Trask’s score is mind-bending all the way through and often searing in the delivery.”
“Decked out in a wig that seemed to be a combination of Farrah Fawcett morphed with Tina Turner, Tom Avery expertly wields the character’s latent vulnerability with aching sweetness and deft ad-libbing, unveiling the frightened girl beneath the getup.”
“simultaneously a thrilling rock concert—exciting enough on its sequined surface to satisfy glam-rock fans of all generations”
“witty, glitter-rock musical”
“Integrated with a pulsing score and an electrifying performance, it unravels the story of one of the most unique characters to ever hit the stage.”
