Hedwig and the Angry Inch played 777 performances and 12 previews at Off-Broadway's Jane Street Theatre, Feb. 14, 1998-Jan. 30, 2000. Written by its original star, John Cameron Mitchell (book), and Stephen Trask (music and lyrics), the musical concerned an obscure and tortured German-American transsexual rock singer, who told her darkly comic story while ostensibly performing a concert. The Angry Inch, her back-up band, was Trask's rock combo Cheater. The musical was subsequently made into a film, which also starred Mitchell in the title role.
