"It's my first day as a woman, already it's that time of the month."
We meet Hedwig (John Cameron Mitchell), as she screams her music out to a disinterested restaurant audience in mid-west America. Slowly her story is unveiled. From her humble beginnings as a boy called Hansel living in East Berlin, to internationally ignored rock star. Whilst her protege is now an arena filling rock star Tommy Gnosis (Michael Pitt).
Multi-layered comedy drama musical about a male to female transsexuals journey through life...This sort of thing doesn't come along often. What we get is fun and poignant, often at the same time, all to a cracking rock soundtrack.
