Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Hedwig, born male as Hansel in East Berlin, fell in love with an American G. I. and underwent a Gender Reassignment Surgery 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.

Hedwig, born male as Hansel in East Berlin, fell in love with an American G. I. and underwent a Gender Reassignment Surgery 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.
