With Local Flavor: 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' at Warehouse Theater

Hedwig and the Angry InchWEEKEND: Equal parts Greek tragedy and "Rocky Horror," "Hedwig And The Angry Inch" is the story of Hedwig Schmidt, a rock 'n' roll obsessed German boy who becomes the transgendered child-bride of an American G.I. And that's just the first act.

A trip to Kansas, a divorce, some Hasidic johns, a sassy New Yawk band manager, the remaining angry inch and a love affair with a young Christian rock star round out the story.

The Obie-winning off-Broadway musical is in D.C. for a limited four show run, and the production is tailored to each city's climate via local references. Any guesses as to Hedwig's stance on Marion Barry?

» Warehouse Theater, 1021 7th St. NW; Fri. and Sat., Oct. 30 and 31, 7 p.m. and 11 p.m.; $25 in advance, $35 at the door (cash only); 202-783-3933. (Mt. Vernon Square)
