    Default 'Hedwig And The Angry Inch'

    I thought I'd post something I came across a few weeks ago that I think is tremendous.

    Like many here, I'm a massive fan of 'The Rocky Horror Show' - so when the UK's ITV television network put on a rock-musical film a few weeks ago, the description had me interested right away. It said "A transvestite rock singer travels to America to find fame and fortune but loses out to his band mate and lover". (Rock musical starring John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask).

    Actually, it's more involved than that, but 'Hedwig And The Angry Inch' is partly based on the star's (actor John Cameron Mitchell) real-life childhood. It was staged as a Broadway Musical first, in 1999 - and then adapted for Cinema in 2001.

    Here's the Musical: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedwig_..._Inch_(musical)

    Film: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedwig_...gry_Inch_(film)

    Trailer: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hedw...ilers/10897624

    I was absolutely blown away by the film. The story is excellent (if a little off the wall), the acting and singing was brilliant and the songs are easily as good as 'Rocky Horror'. The whole thing is done wickedly tongue in cheek and with a huge sense of humour, and John Cameron Mitchell is utterly superb (and gorgeous) in the lead role as Hedwig. BTW, the 'Angry Inch' is the stub that remains after his sex change operation in Germany is bodged by the military surgeons....!

    Has anyone else seen it...?

    I LOVE this one too. I've seen it over and over. Even my ex happily sat through it. It was so outside the box. The kid who played the rock star is on Atlantic City and does a great job!

    Im a huge Rocky Horror fan...have been since I was 16. I had friends who kept telling me I should see Hedwig, and I didnt see it for the first time til about 5 years ago.

    I LOVE it....soon here, Ill be able to repeat the movie word for word like I do Rocky

    Right after posting on this thread yesterday I walked past a movie theatre that does Rocky Horror every Friday and Saturday here in NYC. I had no clue! I want to go so bad with my super straight bf! Might go.... I was just telling a client about my totally home made Magenta corset that I sewed individual rainbow sequins on when I was fifteen. Aww...I was so cute!
