Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. An unsuccessful glam rocker tells and sings her life story. The story of Unfair Show Business and Generally Having a Crappy Life isn't interesting (especially since Hedwig is too much of a diva to get any sympathy), but that's not too important. It's sufficient story to hang the music on, and the music is what matters. If a typical musical is a story with songs injected, this is the other way around - kind of like an elaborate concert film, with story injected to keep it rolling.

But the truth is, we feel complete when we accept ourselves as we truly are. The thought can come to anyone, not only to teenagers. It's a universal story about love and acceptance.
After watching the movie for bazillion times, I watch the off-Broadway musical video, and the Broadway musical. It explores a deeper story about Hedwig that the movie didn't tell us. And reading the original script made me experiencing lots of realization again.
Thank you, John Cameron Mitchell for writing this musical. Maybe, it's only a story about a drag-rock-n-roll queen, but the meaning is much beyond that. ( )
