SUMMARY:Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Musical Theatre by JK Entertainment
DESCRIPTION:Hedwig and the Angry Inch\nProduced by JK Entertainment\nThe Tony Award-winning rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch inhabits Catalyst Ranch in an inventive staging with a rotating cast. \nFrom JK Entertainment: \n\nLoud\, glitter-soaked\, and unapologetically raw\, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH is a genre-defying rock musical about identity\, heartbreak\, and the messy\, human search for wholeness. \nThis production features three performers rotating through the roles each night (billed as the Sun Cast\, Moon Cast\, and Earth Cast)\, shattering the idea of a single Hedwig and revealing something deeper: this story isn’t owned by one voice—it lives in all of us. \nPart rock concert\, part confession\, Hedwig takes the stage to tell her story—of East Berlin\, a botched surgery\, and a love that split her wide open. Driven by a live band and iconic anthems like “The Origin of Love” and “Midnight Radio\,” the show is fierce\, funny\, and emotionally unfiltered. \nJK Entertainment will donate $1 of every ticket sold to The Trevor Project\, honoring the show’s legacy and investing in a future where every identity is seen\, valued\, and free. \n\n  \nHedwig and the Angry Inch plays Thursdays\, Fridays\, and Saturdays at 7pm; and Sundays at 2pm. \n			\n				Tickets and additional information
