Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Wig In A Box

[@thegood9]

PURE GENIUS! One of the most underrated movies and song collections of all time!

[@fratergrant5449]

It isn't underrated!

[@oscarmannheim7434]

I think it’s seriously underrated by the general public. I second it! PURE GENIUS!

[@MatameVideos]

Queen Boudicca More like “underappreciated”, it is hold on high regards and praise, but just by the few people that have watched it.

[@TankR]

The origin of love is an amazing song that deserves to be heard by everyone with ears

[@debeden444]

The guy who wrote this John Mitchell C said that when they first started preforming this like 2 people were in the audience and just slowly over time it grew and grew until the places were packed and now everyone wants to play Hedwig!! When this movie first came out I was like what in gods name is this and I so fell I’m love with the heart of this movie what an amazing group of people they all are stand out is Miriam shor I love her in younger and I always loved her in this amazing !!! All of them are; I always thought the one guitar player was so cute !

[@SFMonster]

Mitchell deserved an Oscar just for the expression at 0:03; it manages to be simultaneously one of the most heartbreaking and hilarious moments I have ever seen.

[@carpediem6115]

just saw this video and you're spot on...I dont' know if I'll cry or laugh ...

[@brody10123]

That moment nearly broke me the first time I watch it

[@williamwong1982]

The role of Hedwig just simply belongs to John no matter how many great actors can play her.

[@geraldisalazar390]

chills every time!!!! best musical. ever. ever. ever.

[@myrthiejim7346]

Do you know where can I watch the movie

[@seansweeney3532]

You know, I'm a straight white male, but a songwriter, liberal, regardless, I think this is the best musical movie I've ever seen. It like picked up where Rocky Horror hinted at, and gave it so much more of everything... I wish I had been involved with it.

[@AlexOrozco-Social-Pariah]

The biggest piece of queer music I've ever heard loud and proud. I want to tattoo this musical in my memory frame by frame

[@tonyryu3731]

Me too

[@SiLlyGoOse4321]

I never realized at the end when John goes to kick the lightbulb out it doesn't break so he has to do it again. The funny thing is his little reaction to it lol. I love that they used the take!

[@randomhuman4623]

Omg I just realized that!!! I love his reaction after

[@WobblesandBean]

Right?? I love that so much 😂

[@ddbob1]

this movie made me cry

[@WobblesandBean]

I can't even imagine the trauma of having to go through all that, only to be abandoned. Then to add insult to injury, hit with the revelation that it was all for nothing. _For nothing!_

[@fletchertube908]

What?! Where?! HOW?!

[@bellyung2560]

It's such a cheerful and sad song

[@jonathanstern5537]

I saw this when it was an Off-Off-Broadway play. It was the most minimal set-up. There were only three speaking actors, a stage, and the band. The story and music held its own.

[@margaretdunphy4207]

I saw that too. Fabulous show!

[@elizawingfield]

I’m so glad this performance was captured on film.

[@drachmalius6126]

just discovered this movie and I love it so much

[@lukewarmtakes5023]

Saw NPH in this on browadway. One of the best performances I have ever seen. He played the role very human in a way that made the performance intimate, real, and still hilarious in an uncomfortable but still amazing way. He built up the very shattered person that Hedwig is, while still being a rockstar that makes you cheer her on throughout the entirety of the play. Influencing things into the role in small hints that have influence from her past without it being obvious how damaged she is. Well done Neil. Well done.

[@MrJazzyPants]

I just saw this movie for the first time recently and this song has never left my head since

[@KimSE4]

Brings a tear to my eye. Ahhhhhh.... what a tune.

[@evillaugher]

I have watched this film a million times, and have never once noticed armpit hair. Can't say I expected that subject to dominate the comments for this song.

Hola Senor: The movie and the Off-Broadway original cast soundtrack is my new obsession! I can't stop listening to the CD while in the car. I sing "Wig In A Box" at the top of my lungs!! Have seen the movie several times, too. I did snag two tickets for hubby and I to see NPH as Hedwig in August--and can't wait! Don't want to rush the summer...but...August, arrive already!!! LOL I can't believe I 'missed' this movie when it came out. Apparently it wasn't a 'wide-release'. One of the best musicals ever. Stephen Trask and John Cameron Mitchell were short-changed for Oscar noms!! This should be re-released, ASAP!!!!

[@chadwickwright3022]

Greatest musical everrrr!! I actually met JCM and he was surprised I knew who he was.

[@LaughingatpainUSAway]

I knew of this play but had never seen it or knew what it was about. I came here after reading an article in the NYT about NP Harris taking over the role. what can I say? I FUCKING LOVE IT and look forward to seeing the whole movie.

[@clairekeesey1285]

Anthony Martin if someone did it before him, its not really incorrect to say they are taking over the role. talk about splitting hairs with red pencil.

This needs a mash up with Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond

[@colinreynolds4400]

I often teach about the fall of the Berlin Wall. The broadcast "The Germans are a patient people, and good things come to those who wait" sounds like something famous from 1989. But I haven't been able to find any evidence that it exists. Maybe John Cameron Mitchell just made it up for "Hedwig"? At any rate, I wish I had an excuse to play this song in class, in addition to the historical broadcasts from November 9, 1989.

[@mccarthy5825]

My mam got me the album for an Irish 'punt', aka a pound, BEFORE we had the Euro. It was about 2001 and a few months later the movie released. She just bought me the cd because of the cover and she thought it was something I'd like. Id no clue about it! But I fell in love! The small indy cinema that showed Hedwig wouldn't give me the poster but after seeing it like 3 times and bringing friends to eat lots of sweets, have a few sneaky drinks and have a laugh I got one... Managed to catch two different productions of the show but I really think the original Off Broadway cast recording is by far the best. So I'm a regular, I guess today you'd call me a 'Cis straight male' .. And I absolutely LOVE the show, the music, the story and I think its really one of the best modern musicals. I really love the Origin Of Love being adapted from Aristophanes' speech in Symposium by Plato (which was basically a big book of stories in honour of Eros, the god of love in Greek mythology) Yeah I'm big, tattooed, been in prison, stabbed and all... I just dig this album and movie so much... I think blokes can be way too self conscious and all...like just enjoy what you enjoy and who cares what someone else thinks! You'll find your Hed 'Head' and I hope when you do you both get to see a show together

[@mccarthy5825]

@@misslotalotus1500 @Miss Lota Lotus I'm very sorry to hear that you aren't in a place that supports you. My main problem with organised religion is that it is fallible because its made by man. And it's made by men in a society that is very very different to what we are now. My mam was a single mother in 80s Ireland and it was very difficult for her. When I was a few hours old a nun, a woman who supposedly gave her life to god, tried to get my mam to sign me off. She only referred to me, a tiny newborn, as 'the bastard' or 'your bastard child'... Personally I believe in kindness and love more than any deity. I think that we all should accept each other and celebrate our different lives. If someone doesn't like it then ok, just don't try and force that belief on other people. My youngest sister is gay and I remember holding her as a newborn. If anyone tried to hurt her or upset her by telling her there's something wrong with her or whatever, I would happily go to jail for what I'd do to them. I think if the world focuses on what makes us alike, more than what makes us different than each other then we would be better off. Personally I don't think there's any gods or anything, but if there was... Then I can't, for a second imagine that the god would make people feel differently and want different things only to punish them for it. The god would love us all equally.

My guess would be it's a nod to Hedwig's origins. Since Hedwig was born in East Germany and came to America before the fall of the Berlin Wall, perhaps his mom didn't shave. Therefore, he didn't think it necessary for a woman to do that.

[@TubeofDestiny]

I think the myth came from WW2, back then shaving or being able to wash with real soap (and not some cheap ersatz) was quite difficult in occupied regions, so when the US soldiers landed and marched through Europe, they saw tired, hungry people, with old torned clothes, not able to bath often (let alone shave). It was also found that the generation that lived through WW2 didn't shaved much, while the next one (and the next one even more) rapidly adopted "US" shaving habits.

[@jenniferchristineberg-scha2279]

i dont nd 2 say a thing...i bgettin you by nbby my irishman who took on the lizard king🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@asingleverse]

Probably because the character he is playing is from Eastern Europe and it isn't an obsession to be clean shaven all the time there. Honestly, that is only found mainly in America.

[@MrRottenTreats7]

Hedwig FTW!!

[@aspectaleatoire]

Yes.

[@Sindrake]

the truth behind his shaving his armpits is not a German thing as anyone who actually watches the movie would know, he went for a sex change and the doctor merely left him with a one inch nub, his angry inch, hence the movie title Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the non shaved armpits is his "I don't give a fuck anymore" since he has been double-crossed by life, god, and fate.. the movie is actually very beautiful give it a watch the final scene where he is a man and his guitarist is woman tells all

[@aspectaleatoire]

Wow! Lucky you! Did you get to record anything? If I had had the chance to be there I guess I would had been too hypnotized to do anything. :p I'm happy that you went. I bet it was a lifetime experience. I've seen the documentary that comes with the DVD. That's the closest I've been to the off-Broadway show and it looks amazing.

[@StahlUndAsche]

I struggle to find the relevance of an exceptional case to the movie.
