171. Hedwig and the Angry Inch with special guest Amber Shaw

Published: Nov. 4, 2022, 5:35 a.m.

\u201cWhen it comes to huge openings, a lot of people think of me.\u201d We watched Hedwig and the Angry Inch with our friend Amber Shaw and we\u2019re ready for a car wash! We talk about our introduction to this queer classic through the stage production, various versions of the soundtrack and the still-rockin\u2019 after 20 years movie. John Cameron Mitchell\u2019s snappy dialogue is hilarious and the music by Stephen Trask is face-melting rock and roll that can bring you to tears.\xa0 We also have to talk about the Glamour - my goodness, the glamour!\xa0 The wigs, the makeup, the costumes!\xa0 Any drag queen worth her wig glue owes a debt to Hedwig just like Hedwig owes a bit of her look to certain legends of drag *cough* Jackie Beat *cough cough*.\xa0 Pour yourself a vermouth on the rocks, grab your wig in a box and get ready for some Eastern bloc Rock!
