The story of East Berlin born rock-and-roll goddess Hedwig Schmidt, a botched sex change, stolen music and love affair with an American GI. Directed by Ian Bell, rising star Jerick Hoffer (most recently seen in the role of Angel in the 5th Avenue production of RENT) portrays Hedwig as she recounts her outrageous life story as the lead singer in a sleazy lounge act, backed by her rock-and-roll band "The Angry Inch."
