“HEDWIG and the ANGRY INCH” - Text by John Cameron Mitchell -  Music by Stephen Trask

HEDWIG opened in 2006 in Sydney to thunderous applause and critical acclaim, the show then swept the national theatre awards winning a Helpmann Award, two Green Room Awards, and two Sydney Critic Awards. The show originated from New York where it played for over three years, it has played to great acclaim all over the world since and has been turned into an award winning  feature film, now the Rock N Roller Coaster is finally coming to Brisbane.

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH tells the story of Hedwig Schmidt, the unfortunate victim of a gruesomely botched sex-change operation, and an "internationally ignored song-stylist". Her journey to find true love, "her other half", is a rock and roll odyssey which leads her across the Berlin Wall, across the world, and from man to woman.

 In the role of HEDWIG is the ROCK powerhouse EZEKIEL OX from Melbourne, Ox is best known for fronting the hot Melbourne band MAMMAL. No stranger to the stage Ox studied at WAAPA in sic theatre, and shortly after toured the nation in “MAMMA MIA”, before deciding to follow his music dreams.  Recent stage work includes "SHANE WARNE: THE MUSICAL – workshop” and “TARTUFFE” at the Malthouse Theatre, as well as his one man show "RANT!".
 
Playing Hedwig’s side kick Yitzhak is LUCINA SHAW, who is quickly becoming one of Australia’s most exciting young music theatre stars.  Lucinda just played the role of The Lady Of The Lake in ‘SPAMALOT “and Killer Queen in “WE WILL ROCK YOU”.

CRAIG ILOTT returns to lead the creative team as director, and the sensational KELLEY ABBEY is choreographing this new cast.
