Hedwig and the Angry Inch!
“I'm the new Berlin wall, try and tear me down!”
We welcome you to a euphoric night on the Rock ’n’ Roll rollercoaster with singer Hedwig – a hedonistic genderqueer anti-heroine seemingly hellbent on destruction.
Prepare for the cult hit to make it's East of England debut with special permission by John Cameron Mitchell. Starring Norwich drag royalty: Pfizer Manelli and Knuckle Sandwich in the iconic role of Hedwig; with the King of the East, Will Power as Yitzhak!
This darkly humorous self-love story, powered by a live band, epic rock-inspired music and hard-hitting lyrics, explores gender identity, acceptance and the freedom to be whoever you want to be.
"Brilliantly innovative, heartbreaking, and wickedly funny, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH is the landmark musical by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask."
From the producers that brought you “NOW! That's What I Call...Drag!” and “NOW! That's... Panto!” with their sold out tour of Snow White and the Seven Inches!
