This groundbreaking rock musical tells the story of "internationally ignored song stylist" Hedwig Schmidt (Matt Shofner), a fourth-wall smashing East German rock'n'roll goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation, which has left her with just "an angry inch."  This outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig and her hard-rocking "The Angry Inch" as she sings songs and shares stories of her search for "The Origin of Love" and her other half.  It's a rocking ride, funny, touching, and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has felt that life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.
