'Hedwig And The Angry Inch' is crashing on to the Adelaide Festival stage in a blaze of glitter, rock ‘n’ roll, and unapologetic rebellion.
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Revival Of A Musical, this electrifying sensation smashes the fourth wall and obliterates expectations. It’s equal parts primal scream and rock concert, a fever-drenched odyssey of love, loss, and self-liberation that refuses to be confined by convention.
In this bold new Australian production, the incomparable Seann Miley Moore – fresh from their game-changing turn as The Engineer in 'Miss Saigon' – steps into the towering heels of Hedwig. This fractured, hedonistic anti-heroine is a force of nature, a whirlwind of fury and seduction, charisma and chaos. They are electricity incarnate, ready to torch everything in their path.
Set against a backdrop of scorching live music, this is more than a show – it’s an experience. Hedwig’s world is a warzone of heartbreak and resilience, where love is both a weapon and a means of escape. Costumes by queer design icons Nicol & Ford, a killer live band, and a soundtrack that hits like a sledgehammer.
Gritty, twisted, and laced with sardonic humour, this cult classic delves into the messy heart of identity, power, and sacrifice. It’s a raw, unfiltered punch to the senses – a sweaty, glitter-streaked anthem for those who dare to defy.
'Hedwig And The Angry Inch' plays The Queens Theatre (Adelaide Festival) 26 February-15 March.
