Hedwig

The Brown and I got to revisit one of my favorites last Thursday and have plans to go again this week. StageWest has once again outdone itself with an amazing production and wonderful cast.

The New York Times got it wrong, though. In their original rave review, they called it, "a thought-provoking musical about the quest for individuality." To me, it's a thought-provoking musical about the quest for one's other half using the division of the city of Berlin, and Germany's eventual reunification, as a metaphor for the human condition.

And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town
