"The
star attraction of this year's festival"

"This
white-hot home grown production is so fierce it rips the tits off the
original"

"More
rollercoaster than Rocky Horror, more pertinent than Priscilla and better
dressed than Divine

"We
love it so much we want to go and live in Berlin and eat Gummi Bears whilst
wearing high heel shoes and a Farah Fawcett flick wig."
BOYZ
"Hedwig
was a giddy bombardment of lights, smoke, screaming guitars, wigs and
bombastic rock operatics
"
Real Brighton
"Feel
like going on the ride of your life? This is it"
The Insight
"Over
100 minutes of pure mayhem and kick-ass shock n' roll"
The Latest
"..on
the OTT side of outrageous"
GayUK
"This
larger than life production is gloriously un-PC and Matthew Tapscott pours
heart and soul into his portrayal of Hedwig"
The Argus
"
the
audience was dancing in the aisles and even on the stage - not bad for
a British audience on a Wednesday night"

movie hedonism, plantinum blonde jest-osterone and a stonking rock soundtrack"

Audience comments
"I
came expecting run of the mill fringe theatre and you gave me better than
Broadway"
San Fransisco visitor
"I
have little else to say about my weekend except for WOW!
Show was beyond
anything I could have expected. Those who know me well know how much the
film means to me, and I can honestly say that this production moved me
more (I cried - please don't laugh).
Many thanks to all the cast and crew, not only for a great show, but for
making me feel so welcome, and being so friendly!"
Maggie Bob
"Dear
Hedwiggers, I
just wanted to send my (and my girlfriends) praise and thanks for
your wonderful production which I saw on the last night in Brighton. I
have been a fan of the theatre since an early age; but the Atrocity Hedwig
was the most amazing production, of any kind, that I have ever seen. I
was a big fan of the film, but had never seen the live show; and your
version was just mind-blowing. Matthew seems to be a genius, the music
couldnt have been better, and the production as a whole was just
perfection. Ive been listening to your CD since I got home. Our
journey back was a nightmare and took about seven hours instead of two
because we missed our train; but nothing could spoil such a memorable
evening.
I would love to see you all again in Edinburgh, but simply cannot afford
to get there. Is there any chance of the tour being extended? Please come
to Southampton, Ill fill you a theatre!
You deserve to be in the West End, people: what is the likely future of
your show? Dont let it end!
Please forward my gushing to the cast"

"I
wanted to say thank you and well done to everyone involved with Tuesdays
show. My friend and I came down from Colchester for the night just to
see the show and we were not disappointed. I took a lot of things from
the show that I hadn't from the film and now have a more in depth feel
for Hedwig.
Thank you very much. I hope you do well with the rest of the show"
Shaun
"Just
wanted to congratulate you on a fantastic production in Brighton on
Saturday night. My boyfriend and I were staying in Brighton for the
bank holiday weekend. We didn't realise it was the Brighton Festival.
We found some of your publicity and decided to 'give it a go' We were
both so glad that we did. It was fantastic and made our weekend.
I will be up in Edinburgh with friends and will be sure to catch it
again. Well done to all"

"Saw
the show last night with my 16-yr old daughter (at her request!). Just
wanted to say how good a time we had. I really loved it. All
the very best to you all for the rest of the run and at the Edinburgh
Festival, which I believe you're going to do"
Daphne
Groves (Brightonian)
"Thanks
to all who made this show happen! Thanks to the writers and the musicians
and to Matthew who is an amazingly talented performer! I was utterly
moved, the stuff about the origin of love is so resonant, it touched
me really deeply. Oh and the music rocked! Thanks for the amazing singing.
Whoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
P.S If anyones driving to Edinburgh to see the show and wants to give
me a lift that would be fab. I live in Brighton. Rock on!"
Jessie
"Amazing.
Thankyou for such a great night on Saturday. I was totally amazed at
the show, and I must say I would rather love a piece of 'Ms Hedwig'.
For
fear of sounding a tad cheesy; the show has added something to my soul.
The film did this too, but seeing the show has made an even deeper mark.
Another little piece of my jigsaw slotting into place.
I shall be coming again before you leave town and hopefully I'll be
brave enough to sit on the front tables instead of quietly singing along
in the middle row"
