HEDWIG IS BACK!!!

We Need Volunteers!!

Plans are in the works for December 2 & 3 showings of the movie "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" in NYC and we are looking for interesterd people to form a shadow cast to lip sync on a stage, in costume, along with the movie (kinda like Rocky Horror). We also need people just to help with set up and help with costumes, make up, etc. The time has not yet been confirmed, but these will likely be midnight showings.

If you are interested, please contact me ASAP at:

Please put "Hedwig" in the subject line!!

I agree, with Mary, Hedwig is what it is and not RHPS. I was part of a Rocky cast for a long time here in the Bay Area, several casts actually. And some friends put on Hedwig once. It just didn't work.

Is anyone else DREADING when it starts happening to Rent?

Bobby, as someone who did his thesis on Hedwig, I couldn't agree more.

I couldn't agree more Bobby. RHPS is Crap, which is why I finally quit doing it. A lot of fun memories, but I definitely outgrew it. Hedwig is a BRILLIANT Show. Not one to mock in front of a movie screen.

Exactly. Rocky Horror is fun when you're young, but the materical is mostly crap. If I am going to enjoy it, I put on the superior revival recording.

I've tried to discuss Hewdig with so many queer people, and am amazed how many people cannot discuss its themes. FOr me, it is a powerful piece of queer cinema. For others its the second coming of Rocky Horror.

Yes, Shortbus could very well be another critical hit -- I'm sure its premise will get it some nice airtime -- especially from the right.

shhhhh...don't tell, but yes.


JCM's goal is for his audience to leave saying, "I laughed, I cried, I came."

All the subtlety (yes there was subtlety), nuance and charm of Hedwig (the show) was lost onscreen in Hedwig (the movie.) I can't believe many of you saw John onstage and feel the screen version is just as good.

I agree with Bobby.

Plus, if I were in the audience watching this movie, I wouldn't want to see wanna-be's onstage acting the thing out. Not only is that the gayest thing I have ever heard, but it would irritate me beyond belief.
