Hedwig and the Angry Inch changed my life when I was young and grappling with the fact that I was different, and that every sound I made carried meaning.
I struggled with being visible, and expressing myself safely, but Hedwig helped me.
She has grounded me whenever I’ve gotten caught in the thought that I should sound like something else.
Getting to ask John Cameron Mitchell about gender and the voice of Hedwig was a special moment for me.
Hedwig was just herself. Her journey towards self actualization and wholeness continues to inspire me.
John Cameron Mitchell is apparently a radical fairy. I got that from Wikipedia- I don’t fully know what it means, but it sounds beautiful.
We need more of this.
I’m so glad to be surrounded by incredible radical fairies. 💋
