Hedwig And The Angry Inch
Originally released: 2001
The search for love. For a soulmate. For your missing other half. That's what Hedwig's about. Sure, there are the songs, the wigs, the witty monologues so sharp they make you bleed. The story: East Berlin boy Hansel meets American GI, falls in love, has sex change operation so they can marry. Operation is botched, leaving 'angry inch'. Hansel, now Hedwig, is abandoned in Kansas trailer park, where he/she becomes punk singer, glam icon... But that's just the bones. The heart of it is love, pure love. And if this don't move your soul, baby, then you ain't got one.
