Posted: 11/13/05 at 4:50pmI think - and I could be wrong - that after Hedwig he wanted to focus on non-theatrically related stuff.

Posted: 11/13/05 at 4:53pmDoes he have other Cd's besides Hedwig out? I couldn't find anything else.

Posted: 11/13/05 at 5:35pmHe also used to front a band called Cheater. I believe they've split, but they were also the original Angry Inch.

TRASK ROCKS!! I've been listening to "Hedwig" non-stop too! JCM & Stephen created something that lives on it's own, "Hedwig" is sooo much more than a show, It's a Philosophy - How many others can actually do that? ST & JCM ROCK!!!

Posted: 11/15/05 at 1:33pmCheater didn't put out anything beyond some EP's they sold at their shows I believe. As far as musicals go though Trask was never much of a musical theatre person to begin with so Hedwig gave him a stage to bring rock to the theatre. I haven't heard if he is working on anything new or if he even wants to write another musical. As always though I could be wrong.
