Hedwig was originally presented at the Westbeth Theatre Centre on 27th February 1997. It opened off-Broadway at the Jane Street Theatre on February 14, 1998. The show was an instant hit, honoured at the Obie (off-Broadway) awards, and nominated for 4 Drama Desk awards, including Outstanding Musical, Music, Lyrics, and Actor (John Cameron Mitchell). The cast recording was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Musical Show Album. This production closed on April 9, 2000.
The show has played around the U.S., and there have been productions in Canada, Iceland, Germany, the Phillipines, and the U.K., and probably more that I’m not aware of!
