The Origin of Love
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
(This week is Off-Broadway week. I'll be looking at some songs that have their origins off Broadway.)
Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a rock musical with an unusual story - a rag-tag rock and roll band led by a German transgendered singer. Written by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask, this wickedly popular off-Broadway production was eventually turned into a musical film.
In the midst of this rock musical, we hear a musical retelling/adaptation of Plato's Symposium about the origin of love. The film features an animation of the story which is lovely.
I hope you like this one.
Happy listening!
