      Ghost Light Projects, Laughing Monkey Productions, and Carpe Ictus Music present Hedwig and the Angry Inch at the Cobalt (917 Main Street) from October 2 to November 2.

      The off-Broadway hit by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask follows Hedwig and her band, the Angry Inch, as they play in seafood restaurants to small crowds. There’s resentment between band members, especially between Hedwig and her aspiring drag king boyfriend Yitzhak. They’re also stalking Tommy Gnosis, a much more successful rock star, who has stolen Hedwig’s songs.

      This production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch stars Studio 58 alumni Ryan Alexander as Hedwig, with Lee McKeown as Yitzhak and the Kat Gillis Band as the Angry Inch. The performance is directed by Randie Parliament and Greg Bishop, with music direction by Juno award winner Mark Reid, lighting by Heather Young, and costumes and wigs by Brenda Matthews.

      Tickets to Hedwig and the Angry Inch are $15 to $45 and can be purchased online or by calling 1-800-838-3006.
