Presented by GWB Entertainment and Andrew Henry Presents, this groundbreaking musical is a bold celebration of identity, love, and rock ‘n’ roll attitude.

Described by Rolling Stone as “the best rock musical ever,” Hedwig and the Angry Inch defies genre and convention, winning over audiences and critics alike with its raucous spirit and emotional depth. It’s a production that blends outrageous humour with heartfelt storytelling and unforgettable music.

Leading the charge is powerhouse performer Seann Miley Moore, whose electrifying portrayal of Hedwig has left critics raving. Known for his work in Miss Saigon and his unforgettable presence on The X Factor UK, Seann takes centre stage in a performance hailed as “lightning in a bottle” (InDaily) and “nothing short of astounding” (Australian Arts Review). His Hedwig is equal parts vulnerable and defiant, delivering every line and lyric with charisma and courage.

Joining Seann is the talented Adam Noviello, a triple-threat performer with credits including Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, Matilda The Musical, and Jesus Christ Superstar. Adam stars as Yitzhak - Hedwig’s loyal, long-suffering partner - and also understudies the title role, adding a layer of artistic depth to the production. Their chemistry on stage adds emotional complexity to a show already brimming with raw energy.

From the iconic The Origin of Love to the anthemic Midnight Radio and cheeky Sugar Daddy, the show’s legendary soundtrack fuels its story of survival and self-discovery. Backed by a blistering live band, this is musical theatre with an unapologetic rock edge.

Directed with razor-sharp precision and delivered with heart, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is more than a musical, it’s a cultural phenomenon that explores gender, trauma, reinvention, and the search for wholeness. It’s a story that has resonated with queer audiences since its debut in the 1990s and continues to ignite new generations.

This 85-minute, no-interval production is a high-octane theatrical experience - intense, immersive, and utterly unforgettable.

The Sydney season follows a run at Melbourne’s Athenaeum Theatre from 13 June and promises to be one of the most talked-about events of the year. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10am Tuesday 29 April via hedwig.com.au.

Don’t miss your chance to witness this glittering, gut-punching, glam-rock triumph live on stage. Hedwig is back - and she’s louder, prouder, and more dazzling than ever.
