theater review: Hedwig
Hedwig and the Angry Inch, at the Jungle.
The show is so specific, there's not much you can do besides be faithful to the original, which this production was.
For a first preview I thought they did a rockin' job. The music was tight, the singing was polished, Hedwig owned the show (as she should). I was surprised at how much the audience (of a more traditional, elderly bent) enjoyed the show.
But it really belongs in a club, not a theater.
4 out of 5 stars.
ps. After the show we were interviewed on camera for the trailer. I'm hoping that if they use me in any footage, I don't sound like too much of a dipshit (or look like something the cat dragged in). I'm no good at this "in front of the scenes" shit.
