Welcome to Litsy!

Wicked is in theaters this weekend: a book that became a Broadway show that is now a movie. Are you excited?!
For #tuesdaytunes today, I'm sharing my favorite stage show adapted into a movie. Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a rock musical about an East German singer who tells the story of her betrayal by a collaborator who used their work to gain fame for himself. Created by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask.

We saw a local production of one of my favorite musicals! It was great 🤘🧑‍🎤👬

In 2001, the film won the Best Director and Audience Awards at the Sundance Film Festival as well as Best Directorial Debut from the National Board of Review, the Gotham Awards, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Mitchell received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and the Premiere magazine Performance of the Year Award.

It‘s nothing but clouds today: cold, wet, and with a high allergen count. But the Bradford Pears are blooming, along with tons of other things, so I don‘t mind having the sniffles.

I walked early today because now I‘m getting ready to go see Hedwig and the Angry Inch! I‘ve always wanted to see this musical live, I‘m super excited!

#riotgrams 23. Pink - Where are my Hed-heads?!Typical man, don't own hardly anything pink. I do own almost everything related to this show, though! Absolutely brilliant. Often compared to Rocky Horror, though there's only a superficial resemblance, I highly recommend renting the movie. Then we can petition for a Blu-ray release. Then you can get the Broadway cast recording soundtrack starring Neil Patrick Harris.

Date night. I've been dying to see this show for almost a decade; shout out to my parents who gave us their tickets! #kennedycenter

Saw this for the first time today. Blown away by the performance (Darren Criss & his legs are magnificent) and moved by the edgy narrative and Rock N' Roll songs. Perfect show for gritty SF. It was nothing that I expected it to be, but oh so much more. Ms. Hedwig is a captivating & empowering force, my heart continues to celebrate diversity, love, freedom, suffering, & resilience hours afterward.

Who else likes musicals? What are you favorites?
