Praise for the Broadway production of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY
INCH:
Harris is beyond fabulous, holds nothing back and plays it anyway
but safe in Michael Mayer s exhilarating production . . . The
beauty of Mitchell and Trask s show is that it takes the strangest
of bedfellows camp, punk and pathos and blends them into something
unexpectedly poignant. David Rooney, "The Hollywood Reporter"
Neil Patrick Harris simply crushes it . . . the songs Wicked Little
Town, Origin of Love and Wig in a Box deserve to be on iPods
everywhere. Mark Kennedy, Associated Press
Mr. Harris is in full command of who he is and, most excitingly,
what he has become with this performance. That s a bona fide
Broadway star, the kind who can rule an audience with the blink of
a sequined eyelid . . . Electrically tuneful and furiously funny .
. . an unqualified pleasure. Hedwig is a shamelessly enjoyable
show. Ben Brantley, "The New York Times"
For all the cleverness of the book and the pathos of Hedwig the
character, this is a true rock concert . . . Harris s bravura
performance manages to integrate about 30 years of rock musical
styles . . . a spectacular revival. Marilyn Stasio, "Variety"
[In] John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask s brilliant rock
musical . . . Harris offers up a bravura, frequently thrilling,
deeply committed, self-pushing performance . . .
Chris Jones, "Chicago Tribune"
Dynamite! John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask s frisky, raucous
musical survives and thrives. Joe Dziemianowicz, "Daily News"
Furiously entertaining with a heartwarming message. Jesse Green,
"New York "magazine
Makes Broadway rock harder than ever before . . . Stephen Trask s
glam-rock tunes still induce euphoria. David Cote," TimeOut New
York"
. . . Hedwig's tragicomic essence remains the same, and Harris,
under Michael Mayer's razor-sharp direction, serves it with a
blazingly entertaining and ultimately moving performance.
Elysa Gardner, " USA Today""
