The bitch is back

By weeklyvolcano on October 21, 2006

There's something about song and dance that makes me want to er, sing and dance. Maybe it's all that singing and dancing. If the musical happens to feature people in drag, well, it's ready-made for audience participation.

The toast-throwing Rocky Horror crowd may get mangier with each passing year, but never fear: You young pretties can now take your fishnet-wearing selves over to the the Grand Cinema tonight for the instant cult classic "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." That movie's he-roine for the millennium is every bit as punk rock as Tim Curry's sweet transvestite, and the story's humor and pathos make it imminently more watchable.

Regarding your attire, grrl-bois should get in on the action too (remember that Angry Inch bandmate Yitzhak was played by Miriam Shor), and the Grand Cinema generously states that any drag will do. We here at the Weekly Volcano, however, are partial to the half-black, half-blonde Debbie Harry wig that Hedwig paired with a gold lamé triangle top. But it's up to you.  Check it at 11:47 p.m. tonight. â€" Suzy Stump
