​

Last night, original star of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, John Cameron Mitchell, returned to the role he co-created with Stephen Trask for a limited eight week run, opposite Tony Award winner Lena Hall, who continues with the production as Yitzhak. Mitchell debuted the role of Hedwig in the 1998 hit Off-Broadway production. BroadwayWorld was there for the special night and you can check out photos from the curtain call below!

 

Hedwig and The Angry Inch, with music and lyrics by Stephen Trask and book by John Cameron Mitchell, directed by Michael Mayer, has received rave reviews and is the winner of four Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival. It was also awarded Best Musical Revival by the Drama Desk Awards, Drama League Awards, and Outer Critics Circle Awards.

 

"Internationally ignored song stylist" Hedwig Robinson (John Cameron Mitchell) brings her fourth-wall-smashing rock and roll saga to New York to set the record straight about her life, her loves, and the botched operation that left her with that "angry inch."
