	BBC - Films - review - Hedwig and the Angry Inch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The operation is botched though, leaving Hedwig with an 'angry inch' instead of genitalia, and her husband runs off with another boy on arrival in Kansas.
		Angry, hurt, and looking for love, Hedwig forms a band and belts out the story of her life to bemused diners in various seafood restaurants.
		A cross between "Velvet Goldmine" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", "Hedwig" is simultaneously brash and crude, mythical, and touching as it parallels the division of Eastern Europe with the tribulations of its be-wigged protagonist and her search for identity.

		Hedwig is a generous character, rich enough to display different sides of herself depending on the performer in the role.
		In essence, the entire club is the set, as Hedwig is supposed to be performing at a small music venue (yes, it's supposed to be divier than the Roxy, but no matter), shadowing Tommy Gnosis, the teenage geek she tutored in rock 'n' roll, and who then dumped her and stole her songs.
		"Hedwig and the Angry Inch" is as sturdy, and as much of a survivor, as the character at its core.

	Hedwig and the Angry Inch
		Jealous and angry, Hedwig and her new band begins a campaign to shadow Tommy's tours and, with the help of her manager, Phyllis Stein (Andrea Martin), is trying get a law suit going against the star for stealing her songs.
		Hedwig and The Angry Inch get gigs, not coincidentally, at a chain of seafood restaurants that just happen to be next to the forums where Tommy Gnosis is playing.
		"Hedwig and the Angry Inch" may not be for everybody, but the energy of the effort, the songs, the imaginative sets and costumes and a fast steady pace make it a pleasure to watch.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Hedwig & the Angry Inch" review (2001)
		Refined by writer-director-star John Cameron Mitchell to a sharp comical point through seven years of stage incarnations, "Hedwig" is the story of a flamboyant and frustrated "internationally ignored songstress" who bitterly takes the stage night after night in a dumpy chain of seafood restaurants (called "Bilgewater's") while her musical protégé enjoys lavish MTV prosperity.
		An angry, aging punk prima donna with a pensive stage presence, her nightly concerts include vamping through hilariously caustic but matter-of-fact monologues in between the forceful belting-out of cathartic hardcore tunes (that generally scare the bejezus out of the unsuspecting Bilgewater's patrons).
		Hedwig is a resentfully lonely, dysfunctional wreck after having been screwed over by the two most significant men in her life.

		That operation is botched, leaving Hansel with an "angry inch" and an identity crisis.
		Selfishly, Tommy Gnosis becomes a star with their material, and Hedwig's manager (Andrea Martin) is mandated to book gigs in every town where Tommy plays (this leads to a great moment when Hedwig throws open a door during one of her shows, revealing Tommy playing one of her songs next door).
		Hedwig started as an off-Broadway production that eventually toured, and at one time featured The Breakfast Club's Ally Sheedy (her turn as Hedwig was not appreciated).

	Hedwig and the Angry Inch
		Hedwig is the story of a transexual rock singer born as a man, but living as a woman.
		A botched operation left her with an 'angry inch,' also the name of her backup band.
		Hedwig collaborated with Gnosis and helped form his rock star persona, only to have Gnosis shun her when he discovered her secret.

		Hedwig and the Angry Inch at 1515 Broadway
		Hedwig rocks all that you expect from a romance, punctuated with surprising turns into bisexuality, transvestitism, sex change and the push-pull of tumultuous love.
		In the monologues where Hedwig plays herself as well as someone else, the back and forth delivery tended to be a bit cumbersome, though this awkwardness was a minor inconvenience in an otherwise outstanding production.

		Not that Hedwig et al could be termed a rock opera for it most definitely has a lot of speaking, but frankly it is all about the music.
		Eventually Hedwig makes her way to the States, brings along her band, The Angry Inch, and starts her appearances in what I would consider places similar to a Rian’s Restaurant or even a Denny’s.
		Hedwig and the Angry Inch certainly would not be a movie that all would enjoy nor understand.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Hedwig and the Angry Inch"
		Mitchell originated the role of Hedwig onstage in New York, in a show that was a favorite with audiences, and rightly so: It buzzed with the feel of real rock 'n' roll, instead of simply treating rock as currency, a gimmick to plant younger fannies in theater seats, as the alleged rock musical "Rent" did.
		Hedwig, a transplant from the tragically divided city of Berlin, is divided himself: As he travels the States with his band, playing a string of Red Lobster-type restaurants to audiences rendered incredulous by his boyish brand of girl glam, he reveals his story in flashbacks between musical numbers.
		Hedwig is in the process of suing Gnosis: With the help of his manager, Phyliss (played wonderfully by Andrea Martin, who's like a tart and tarty den mother), he's in the process of a messy lawsuit to get credit (and royalties) for the songs.

		Hedwig and the Angry Inch's self-titled soundtrack album to the movie of the same name combines elements of Almost Famous, Spinal Tap and my own wish fulfillment.
		Hedwig, a lovelorn and alone character, often sounds like the Jesus of all of those '70s rock musicals combined with a Jim Morrison-esque theatricality.
		Hedwig and the Angry Inch provides a superb intro to glam as well as a soundtrack to a surprisingly heartwarming film concerning the connections between music and lost love.

		Hedwig's story begins in East Berlin where he was born in 1961, the year the Berlin wall was constructed.
		He arranges for Hedwig to have a sex change operation (what exactly Hedwig's feelings on the matter might be are never explored) so Luther can bring him home to the U.S. as his wife.
		Hedwig's lover, Tommy, becomes a Satanic type rock singer (fl stringy hair, fl clothes, fl tattoos, fl eyeliner, and a silver cross on his forehead) after abandoning his Christian roots (he once played guitar in a church group).

	Las Vegas SUN: Inch by Inch: Nevada Theatre Company tackles complexities of 'Hedwig'
		From the moment Hedwig asks, "How did this slip of a girlie-boy from communist East Berlin become the internationally ignored song stylist before you?," her life unfolds in an ingenious monologue.
		Members of Pilot to Orion have also wanted to perform "Hedwig." Already familiar with the score, the band couldn't get the rights to perform it because it wasn't a professional theater company, Tapper said (to do so would be a violation of copyright laws).
		Not quite Shakespearean, Hedwig's words have their own humor and tragedy as she recounts being raised by a not-so-loving mother who taught sculpture to limbless children in East Berlin.

	Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001): John Cameron Mitchell, Michael Pitt, Miriam Shor, Andrea Martin - PopMatters Film ...
		Hedwig recalls in her songs and helpful voice-over comments (often accompanied by illustrative flashbacks) that she and Tommy fell into a kind of desperate, endless, and impossible love.
		Or rather, he claims the songs he and Hedwig wrote together as his own, in order to jumpstart his career, a career that is suddenly huge.
		The film is also structured around Hedwig's philosophical bent, part Platonic and part Gnostic Christian, that grounds her investment in the myth of the "Origin of Love." Feeling incomplete (and performing this feeling in her aggressive gender ambiguity), she's searching for her other half, whom she identifies as Tommy.

		The musical Rent is said to have revived the rock musical in the 1990s, but it's Hedwig and the Angry Inch that could revive the genre's movie fortunes in the new millennium.
		Even Hedwig's backing band, the Angry Inch, is beefed up by exHüsker Dü Bob Mould on guitar, while Girls Against Boys contribute to "Freaks," a track that would be right at home on an old David Bowie album.
		Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the best musical to come off an Off-Broadway stage in a long long time.

	Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001): John Cameron Mitchell, Michael Pitt, Miriam Shor, Andrea Martin - PopMatters Film ...
		John Cameron Mitchell's Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the screen version of his and Stephen Trask's OBIE Award-winning stage musical of the same name, is a re-telling of the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, in which the brother and sister are one and the same person.
		The surgery is botched, leaving Hedwig with an "angry inch" of mutilated flesh where her "penis used to be, and where [her] vagina never was." Furthermore, shortly after arriving in the U. S., Luther abandons Hedwig in Junction City, Kansas, for a younger, blonde American boy.
		The implication is that the over-the-top antics of '70s glam-rock or of Hedwig today aren't all that different from the glam-ish grunge of Scott Wieland (during and after his stint with Stone Temple Pilots), the dark and obsessive mope-rock of Smashing Pumpkins or the testosterone frenzy of Limp Bizkit.
