The Berlin Wall may have fallen, but the revolution is just beginning.
“The best rock musical ever” (Rolling Stone) and winner of the Tony Award as Best Revival of a Musical, this genre-bending, fourth-wall-smashing sensation is no ordinary musical. It’s a wickedly funny, sweat soaked lightning strike of raw energy and liberation. In this new Australian production, its primal scream of rage, lust, and survival feels like an anthem for the chaos of existence.
The incomparable Seann Miley Moore — recently celebrated for their role-defining take on The Engineer in Miss Saigon — transforms into the character of Hedwig, a fractured, hedonistic, anti-heroine ready to break every rule.
Enter Hedwig’s world, where love is a weapon and means of escape, and the only way out is through the fire. They are pure electricity — dangerous, seductive, sassy and hard to resist. A fever dream of lost love and self-discovery, Hedwig is torn between an idealistic vision of love and tolerance and a relentless desire to burn the house down. Rebellion wrapped in fishnets and fury.
With a killer live band, blazing rock anthems, and heart-pounding performances, Hedwig and the Angry Inch knows no conventional boundaries. Gritty, twisted and full of sardonic humour, Hedwig rips into the heart of gender, power and sacrifice with a joyous defiance which has made it one of the great musicals of all time.
