Music
The American Masters: Toni Tenille, Debby Boone, Anne Murray--who is actually a Canadian working in an American idiom.
Crypto-Homo Rockers: Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, David Bowie--who is an idiom working in America.
Television
"Jesus Christ Superstar" on American Forces Television.
Heroes
Patty, Tina, Yoko, Aretha, Nona, Nico, Me, and all the strage rock 'n' rollers!
An everyday tale of gummi bears, flying tomatoes, a botched penectomy and the Platonic notion that sex is the human effort to reconnect two halves of our original whole, Hedwig and the Angry Inch tells the story of fourth-wall smashing East German rock 'n' roll goddess, Hedwig Schmidt.
The outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine, backed by hard-rocking band “The Angry Inch”.
Focusing upon Hedwig’s lifelong search for the “origin of love” and her other half, the story’s explosive finale explores the nature of identity in a superficial celebrity obsessed modern society - finally asking if, in today’s world, there is any room for love and acceptance.
It's a roller-coaster ride - funny, touching, emotionally draining and ultimately inspiring to anyone who feels life has given them an inch when they deserved a mile…
A brutally honest musical theatre experience to startle your soul.
Who I'd like to meet:
