CGiii Comment
Definitely a benchmark.
The music will definitely not be to everyone's taste and the story is incredibly far-fetched...but, that is part of its joy - it is a musical after all.
One to watch over and over gain.
Enjoy.

The(ir) Blurb...
Hedwig, born a boy named Hansel in East Berlin, fell in love with an American G.I. and underwent a sex-change operation in order to marry him and flee to the West. Unfortunately, nothing worked out quite as it was supposed to - years later, Hedwig is leading her rock band on a tour of the U.S., telling her life story through a series of concerts at Bilgewater Inn seafood restaurants. Her tour dates coincide with those of arena-rock star Tommy Gnosis, a wide-eyed boy who once loved Hedwig... but then left with all her songs.
