Should I Give It Another Shot?

I've rented Hedwig and the Angry Inch recently and was not at all impressed. I thought it was bizarre and stupid, overall. I really want to like this musical, so should I buy the cast recording? I have only heard great things about it, so I want to give it another shot. What do you guys think?

Yeah give it a try, alot of the times the musical version can be fantastic even if the movie wasnt that great and vice versa. The stage version soundtrack is amazing, I'd highly recommend giving it a shot.

I agree with Dreamcatcher; give it another try.

I really loved the movie.
And I usually despise the movie version of musicals.
I think this, My Fair Lady, and West Side Story might be the only exceptions.

My fave song from that is Wig in A Box.

The first time it was on cable, i tried to watch it, but couldn't get through the first ten minutes. Then, a year later, i was flipping through the channels, and I caught it in the middle and fell in love with it. I still haven't seen it all the way through, but I love seeing my friend (Ted Kozinski) in that film. (He's one of the guitarists.)
