Austin Rainbow Theatres Hedwig and the Angry Inch: A Bold, Universal Reimagining
In Austin, Texas, the Rainbow Theatre is presenting a groundbreaking production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, featuring three performers rotating in the lead role. This revival, directed by Clinton Williams, aims to make Hedwigs story more universal and powerful. The cast, including drag artist Evah Destruction, veteran performer Michael Reyna, and trans artist Juni Nguyen, sees the production as a reflection of their own lives. However, the production coincides with Texas Senate Bill twelve, which limits certain drag shows and impacts the queer community. Despite the challenges, the cast and crew view this Hedwig as a form of resistance, blending punk, queer vibes, and Austins unique spirit. The show runs through April eleventh, 2026, at Ground Floor Theatre.
