BREAKDOWN
Show Description: Hedwig is an “internationally ignored song stylist”, an East German rock’n’roll goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation. This outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine. Using songs and monologues, we get the torrid details of her life, her loves, and her career. It’s funny, touching, and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.
SEEKING
HEDWIG: 20-40s (ANY ETHNICITY AND GENDER IDENTIFICATION) Born in Berlin and is the personification of the famed wall. Hedwig stands between East and West, Slavery and Freedom, Man and Woman, Top and Bottom. The living embodiment of swag and attitude. Owns any room she’s in, and if she doesn’t own it immediately, by the end of the evening will. The best stand up comic, singer, performer you’ve ever seen, except you’ve never seen Hedwig as she’s relegated to playing venues next to the important venues. She’s an internationally ignored song stylist, but it’s just a matter of time before she takes over the world. Equal parts Debby Boone and David Bowie. Or Iggy Pop and Toni Tenille.
YITZHAK: 20-40s (ANY ETHNICITY AND GENDER IDENTIFICATION) A sullen male roadie who is Hedwig’s man Friday through Thursday. Killer voice, but plays second fiddle to Hedwig and she does everything she can to not let Yitzhak take center stage.
