Hedwig and the Angry Inch
 
Ahhhh, a show that will provoke a response, positive or negative, or both, in the intimate space of the Hi Fi.  Well, I’m all for ruffling feathers, plus, I need to forget about the politics of the U.S.A. right now.  Hedwig, mmmhmm, looking forward to some visceral rock’n’roll theatre!  See you scenesters tonight!
 
"The tighter focus and superior rock acoustics of the Hi Fi Concert Club make the story cohere better by a factor of two and sound better by a factor of 10. You can now marvel, perhaps more up-close and personal than is healthy, at the sequin-tears forming in Folino's doe eyes, right underneath his sequined eye shadow, as his voice sweeps from baritone to falsetto and the chorus swells behind him, around him, enveloping him." --Tony Brown, PLAIN DEALER

Addendum:  simply said, this show fucking rocked my ass!  (and got me thinking about the politics of Germany for a little, actually , a long, while).
 
 
Heck, I’d Be Angry, Too!
