Hedwig and the Angry Inch (Touring) Tickets

This show was AMAZING!! The cast, sets, lights, and sound were all great! Yes, it's a non-traditional musical. But, if you let Hedwig take you one his journey, it is one you will never forget.

Even though the understudy performed the role of Hedwig the night we saw it here in Detroit, I honestly cannot imagine anyone doing the lead role any better. Hedwig was captivating from the second he entered the stage, and the energy was non-stop. I particularly enjoyed when Hedwig toyed with several members of the audience. This is honestly one of the best things I have ever seen on stage, period! Do not miss it!

Fantastic production, wonderful improv, very satisfying

We were disappointed in Hedwig. You can't just slap a dress on a man and think you are doing something revolutionary by having him run around a stage thrusting his pelvis everywhere. There just wasn't much substance to the show. A few moments made me laugh but otherwise it was overacted and just not good. Also, I found it nearly impossible to understand the lyrics to any of the songs.

The music is amazing and the performances were incredible! I love the way the stage version is translated from the movie.

This was the worst play I have ever attended. I left fter 20 minutes as did many others.

We attended based on recommendation of my daughter, who loved the show. We were less enthusiastic, the music was good, but the monologues between the music sometimes dragged on for way too long. My daughter accurately described the show as similar to Rocky Horror Picture Show - sort of a wacky story of transgender singer. It's basically a rock musical, where you get to know the characters between rock songs. Admittedly, I was not familiar with the music before attending and that may have detracted from my enjoying the show. The music is good, but the show itself is not for everyone. There is a lot of explicit sexual references/language and some people might find that offensive (about 10 people walked out of show I attended within 15 minutes of start). I'm pretty sure the couple sitting next to us never figured out the "Angry Inch" was a reference to the remnants of a sex change operation. Like most rock shows, it was loud and strobe lights were used frequently (which give headaches to some people). All in all, I have mixed feelings about the show, and I'd be careful who I recommended attend.

I was excited to see this show after watching "Doogie Howser" perform Sugar Baby at the Grammy Awards a few years ago. Hedwig, the understudy, went on. I could not understand him at times and when I did, I was not impressed. We left early because neither of us were enjoying the show.

An interesting story and successful run on Broadway attracted me to see this touring company version of Hedwig. The cast and on-stage band, along with special lighting effects, are in your face for the entire show (no intermission). The story unfolds at a fast pace, with lot's of funny local references to bring it home. A caveat is that It's difficult to follow the details of the story unless you have read the plot ahead of the show.. Also this is not a show that you will likely want to bring children to.

I had heard nothing but great things about this show, was not sure what to expect, i loved it. The music was great, vocals were outstanding.

I've been a fan of the movie for over a decade and couldn't wait to see this live. It totally lived up to my high expectations. It was absolutely hilarious and heartbreaking and as soon as it was over I wanted to watch it all over again! Definitely a must see.

Is the show not terribly interesting and engaging, or is it the road company? Your guess is as good as mine, but I don't really care. It was not very entertaining.

Liked the music but I found the show to be very confusing

The show we saw was missing the lead actor but the stand-in did so well I don't care what the star would have done. It was an awesome show, the lead made it personal with the audience and I wish I had time to go see it again before its engagement here ends. Was very true to the story and they did an excellent job with the music and songs. It was my first stage show to attend but will certainly not be my last.

Perhaps it was that I did not read a synopsis prior to attending but from the first note I was disappointed. I have never left the Fisher Theater early - not even during intermission so this was a first. There was not an intermission so it was difficult to find a good time to exit.

The music was awsome. Cast had very good voices. Great costumes.

Completely amazing! Everything I wanted and more- amazing acting, music, set, and lighting. There were no flaws

I didn't realize it would be a monologue in the same scene throughout the entire performance. The story line and lack of variety didn't hold my interest, nor did the music.

Fantastic music, funny show, but also really powerful!

High energy, funny, poignant - outstanding music and performances.
