Kurt Loder Reviews Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Neil Patrick Harris hurls himself into the title role in the new Broadway revival of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which opened last night at the Belasco Theatre on West 44th Street. As the "internationally ignored song stylist" Hedwig—also an intersexual train wreck—he flounces across the stage in wild spangly drag-wear, high-kicking his gold platform boots, wisecracking through a face full of glittery makeup. He also, writes Kurt Loder wears a big feathery Farrah Fawcett-style wig very well.
