Hedwig and the Angry Inch follows Hedwig, a queer East German rock singer-songwriter who survived a botched sex-change operation and immigrated to the U.S. Hedwig (née Hansel) explains her story in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine, backed by a hard-rocking band called “The Angry Inch.” While touring dive bars and small theatres, Hedwig tells her life story with wit and glitter while pursuing a rock star ex-lover who stole her songs. Through glam-rock anthems and darkly comic monologues, Hedwig recounts her journey from East Berlin to a trailer park in Kansas, ultimately finding redemption through self-acceptance rather than the love or fame she's been chasing.
