HEDWIG and the ANGRY INCH

The revolutionary rock ‘n’ roll masterpiece HEDWIG and the ANGRY INCH is back for three exclusive SNEAK PEAK preview performances only at the Metro Theatre.

“LADIES and GENTLEMAN, whether you like it or not HEDWIG”, everyone has been gagging for the return of HEDWIG and she is back, with her ANGRY INCH. Winner of a Helpmann Award, two Green Room Awards and two Sydney Critic Awards, the HIT Australian production is back with a BANG!

In the role of HEDWIG is the ROCK powerhouse EZEKIEL OX from Melbourne, Ox is best known for fronting the hot Melbourne band MAMMAL, with his electric concert appearances. No stranger to the theatre Ox studied at WAAPA in music theatre, and shortly after toured the nation in “Mamma Mia”.

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.
