Published by Anna de B. · Published on June 28, 2023 at 05:50 p.m.
The Broadway rock musical will be presented at the Café de la Danse from September 18 to December 18. Hedwig and the Angry Inch will be at the Festival Off d'Avignon 2023 before heading to the Paris venue.

It's the first French adaptation of the 4-Tony Award -winning Broadway rock musical: Hedwig and the Angry Inch will be in Paris from September 2023! This half-musical, half-stand-up, half-concert, half-play will be staged at the Café de la Danse. Wearing all these labels, Hedwig and the Angry Inch promises a rocking moment of humor and adventure.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch first saw the light of day in 1998, at Off Broadway, under the direction of John Cameron Mitchell. Mitchell himself adapted it for the screen in 2001, after winning a Village Voice Obie Award and the Outer Critics Circle for Best Off-Broadway Musical the same year it premiered. In 2014, the version starring Neil Patrick Harris won 4 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical.
Hedwig is an "internationally ignored" East German transgender rock singer, accompanied by her backing singer and husband Yitzhak and her band The Angry Inch. The rock musical retraces her love of music, her thirst for freedom and her constant quest to shake up codes.
This new adaptation is directed by Dominique Guillo and will be presented at the Festival Off d'Avignon before continuing its tour to Paris, at the Café de la Danse, in September 2023. Also on the bill is Brice Hillairet as Hedwig, winner of the Molière de la Révélation Masculine in 2020, for his performance in Agatha Christie's La Souricière.
