Hedwig and the Angry Inch

As you celebrate Boston Pride at parties in town this month, make sure to save an evening to catch Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Both an empowering story of self-acceptance and a kick-ass rock musical, the Tony Award-winning hit follows Hedwig, an East German genderqueer singer in a struggling rock band. During a gig, she traces her life from a misunderstood youth through a botched gender reassignment surgery, ill-fated romances and her reinvention as an “internationally ignored” rock star. Backed by a score influenced by the likes of Bowie, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop, Hedwig owns the stage through June 11 at the Boch Shubert Theatre.
