Following a smash hit season at the Adelaide Festival, earning five-star acclaim across the board, Hedwig and the Angry Inch has arrived in Melbourne, with performances running until 6 July 2025.
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical, this genre-defying sensation has been hailed by Rolling Stone as “the best rock musical ever.” Featuring iconic songs including The Origin of Love, Midnight Radio and Sugar Daddy, this electrifying production is a celebration of love, survival, and self-acceptance.
Starring as the Hedwig, Seann Miley Moore (Miss Saigon) delivers a show-stopping performance described as “lightning in a bottle” (InDaily) and “nothing short of astounding” (Australian Arts Review).
Accompanied by acclaimed actor, singer, songwriter Adam Noviello (Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, Matilda The Musical, Jesus Christ Superstar) as Hedwig’s devoted yet defiant partner, Yitzhak. Adam also covers the role of Hedwig.
This new Australian production, with music and lyrics by Stephen Trask and text by John Cameron Mitchell is a celebration and return to the original gritty, grungy spirit that made it a hit on Broadway and around the world.
Together with a blistering live band, razor-sharp humour, and a story that is as hilarious as it is heart-wrenching, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is an unmissable theatrical event.
