Overview

The complete text and lyrics to the off-Broadway smash, now also an award-winning film. Also featuring dazzling film stills, this spectacular rock musical tells the story of Hedwig Schmidt, victim of a gruesomely botched sex change operation, recounted by him/her in the form of a sleazy lounge act. As Stephen Holden of the New York Times wrote, If the glam-rock era is long gone, Hedwig reminds us, its subversive spirit...lives on.' '...with ferocious energy and enough sexual variety to match late Fellini' - Roger Ebert'
