Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a rock musical that electrifies audiences with its unique blend of glam, punk, and rock and roll. Fronted by the enigmatic Hedwig Robinson, a transgender singer from East Germany, the show isn't just a concert - it's a confessional. Through powerful songs and captivating performances, Hedwig recounts her life story, a journey marked by heartbreak, resilience, and an ever-present yearning for love and acceptance. Born Hansel in East Germany, Hedwig undergoes a botched sex reassignment surgery during her escape to the West with her American husband. This event, forever referred to as the "Angry Inch," becomes a source of emotional turmoil and a constant reminder of her quest for wholeness. Hedwig and her band, The Angry Inch, travel from town to town, captivating small crowds with their music. As they chase artistic success, the musical delves into themes of identity, exile, and the outsider experience, making Hedwig and the Angry Inch a groundbreaking and unforgettable theatrical experience.

Short North Stage is a professional theater company dedicated to bringing first-class live performance to the Short North Arts District. Residing in a distinctive performing arts venue, the historic Garden Theater, Short North Stage hosts and produces performances weekly, ranging from Broadway classics and edgy off-Broadway musicals, comedies and dramas to cabarets, dance and everything in between. With three performance venues within the Garden Theater, including the original main auditorium, the intimate Green Room, and Ethel's Stage Left Lounge, each show brings a truly unique experience. Our goal is to grow into a regional, and eventually, national showcase of music-driven works – celebrating familiar, reinventing less well-known, and nurturing new works.

Short North Stage is helping lead the metamorphosis.
