...[The story] is wildly witty, but also inventive, audacious and poignant....HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH brings the rock musical to a crescendo...
USA Today
...Love, fame, self-acceptance, fabulous wigs -- HEDWIG achieves everything MOULIN ROUGE aspires to with far less effort...
Entertainment Weekly
Despite the creator/actor/director's energetic efforts, the material never feels comfortable in its new form.

Time Out
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Brazenly breaks down the holy silos of the masculine and the feminine gender binary and revels in the ambiguity between.

Product Description:
John Cameron Mitchell is the creator of the off-Broadway hit HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, which he and composer-lyricist Stephen Trask have transformed into a funny, dramatic, and curiously poignant self-described "post-punk neo-glam musical" film, with extra songs and a new instrumental score. Hedwig (played by Mitchell) was born as Hansel in East Berlin. In his twenties, Hansel agrees to undergo a sex change in order to marry a U.S. soldier (Maurice Dean Wint) and escape to America. Unfortunately, the procedure fails, and Hedwig is left with nothing but a sexless "angry inch" between her legs. After being abandoned in a Kansas trailer park by her husband, Hedwig decides to make the most of her situation: She develops a taste for outrageous wigs and costumes, forms a band, and becomes a singer. Hedwig soon meets and falls in love with 17-year-old Tommy (Michael Pitt), who also harbors rock star aspirations, and makes him her musical protégé. But Tommy is the one who ends up stealing the superstardom that Hedwig worked for, after stealing Hedwig's songs and claiming them as his own. In order to expose him as a fraud, she embarks on a tour of strip mall restaurants, telling her story to the audience while trailing Tommy on his own tour across America.
