Perseverance Theatre, after producing a version of 'Little Women' last season in which the lead character was transgender, has a new gender-bender for audience in Juneau and Anchorage this fall. 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' is about a transgender punk rocker from Germany touring the United States with his rock band. Amazon describes it as 'A high-powered rock musical that tells the hilarious but emotional tale of an East Berlin transgendered diva on a journey to find stardom in her new home.' 'Winner of 4 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical in 2014, this cult-classic takes audiences on an exhilarating journey of radical, queer self-discovery, self-love, and self-acceptance,' the theatre description says.
