Tommy Gnosis taking turns "breathing with" Deal sisters Ryan Goldman reports:
Wigheads are a weird and wonderful bunch. Despite the fact that The Angry Inch is a completely fictitious rock group and that Hedwig never really reached the mainstream audience that lesser, oh-so-1990s musicals like Rent and Urinetown did, fans of the cabaret-turned-Off-Broadway-play-turned-major-motion-picture have raised John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask's first production from a mere pop phenomenon to a nationwide-- nay, worldwide-- cult movement. Now, to go along with the local performances, soundtracks, DVDs, fan conventions, and Songs from the Oven: East Berlin Is for Children! (totally replaces Free to Be... You and Me as required listening in those formative years), Portland, Oregon's Off Records is compiling Wig in a Box, a tribute album of songs from and inspired by the show and movie, Hedwig & The Angry Inch.
