Hedwig!
So I went with Leah, Leah's mom, Chandra, and Crystal (Chan's sister) last Sunday (I know :-p) to Hunger Artists Theater to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I love the theater, we went there for my birthday and saw Marat/Sade and it seems to really be just this core group of about twenty college kid actors. So there were a lot of familiar faces, and Leah and Chan, who are much more into that scene than I, knew most of them personally. But it's a great atmosphere and everyone's very sweet and fun to be around.
But the play. My god, the play. The actor who played Hedwig was brilliant and hir drag queen lover was fantastic and the band was fun (although if Mr. Electric Guitar had turned down the volume just a tad I would've been so much happier. Which makes me way uncool, I think.) Hedwig just rocked, hir personality is callous and scornful and bitter and somehow still likeable. And the sexy German accent. :-D The actor (Scott Westra, my program tells me) is perhaps the hottest female I've ever seen. :-p And the ending was just heart-breaking, I was sitting there, rapt, during it, biting my lip to keep from...I don't know. Something. It was very powerful and emotional. And now I have to acquire the soundtrack terribly badly.
It was lovely, though. I got in and about midnight and had to drag my sorry ass out of bed the next morning at half past six, but I couldn't bring myself to complain. Because it just. Mm. Love. :-D
