Following a smash-hit season at the Adelaide Festival, earning five-star acclaim across the board, GWB Entertainment and Andrew Henry Presents have confirmed that Hedwig and the Angry Inch will unleash its raw energy at Sydney’s Carriageworks from 17 July 2025.
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical, this genre-defying sensation has been hailed by Rolling Stone as “the best rock musical ever.”
Featuring iconic songs including The Origin of Love, Midnight Radio and Sugar Daddy, this electrifying 85-minute no interval production, is a celebration of love, survival and self-acceptance.
Starring as the Hedwig, Seann Miley Moore (Miss Saigon) delivers a show-stopping performance described as “lightning in a bottle” (InDaily) and “nothing short of astounding” (Australian Arts Review).
Alongside Seann is acclaimed actor, singer, songwriter Adam Noviello (Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, Matilda The Musical, Jesus Christ Superstar) as Hedwig’s devoted yet defiant partner, Yitzhak. Adam also covers the role of Hedwig.
With music and lyrics by Stephen Trask and text by John Cameron Mitchell, this new Australian production directed by Shane Anthony and Dino Dimitriadis is a celebration and return to the original gritty, grungy spirit that made it a hit on Broadway and around the world.
With a blistering live band, razor-sharp humour, and a story that is as hilarious as it is heart-wrenching, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is an unmissable theatrical event.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch will play at Carriageworks from 17 July. General public tickets go on sale Tuesday 29 April (10.00am). The musical will also play Melbourne’s Athenaeum Theatre from 13 – 26 June 2025. For more information, visit: www.hedwig.com.au for details.
