Clarksville, TN – Houses were packed to capacity, Broadway World called it “one of the year’s most unforgettable performances,” and audiences have been begging for more ever since.
Back by popular demand following 2014’s limited run upstairs in the Roxy Regional Theatre’s theotherspace, now Executive Director Ryan Bowie reprises his tour de force performance of John Cameron Mitchell’s groundbreaking award-winning musical “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” in a production completely re-imagined for the mainstage, June 30th – July 15th.
In this rocking ride with music and lyrics by Stephen Trask, Hedwig’s outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine backed by the hard-rocking band “The Angry Inch,” featuring Matthew McNeill on piano, Jarrod Jackson on guitar, John Waddle on bass, and Thad Wallus on drums. Sara Fetgatter, last seen on the Roxy Regional Theatre stage as Linda in The Wedding Singer, returns as Hedwig’s husband and back-up singer, Yitzhak.
Aiming to tear down conventional boundaries while addressing such themes as gender identity and the quest for love, “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” is funny, touching and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has ever felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile. Due to language and adult content, this production is recommended for mature audiences only.
“Hedwig and the Angry Inch” is made possible in part through the generous support of Larry & Barbara Goolsby and Melinda Kelly-Major.
Performances run June 30th through July 15th on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:00pm and Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm.
Friday, June 30th, is the traditional pay-what-you-can preview of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”. All tickets not pre-sold at the regular ticket price will go on sale at 7:30pm that evening for a $5.00 minimum donation.
