Press Reviews
"Brings theatre alive with the pounding sounds of rock ’n’ roll and the funny sad voicing of a painful past… it is also an adult, thought-provoking musical about the quest for individuality… the kind of Rocky Horror Picture Show-style event that may inspire a rabid cult following."
— The New York Times
"In the whole long, sorry history of rock musicals, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the first one that truly rocks."
— Rolling Stone
"The most exciting rock score written for the theatre since, oh, ever!"
— Time Magazine
