Reviews / Votes
"Make Way For A Brand New Cult" - The Independent In the US, the show won the Obie Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical. The soundtrack was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Cast Album. With the release of the film next year, Hedwig is hotly tipped to be bigger than Rocky Horror.
