The vocalizations were powerful with a wide octave range. Both roles were amazingly voiced with Yitzhak, the husband, in a powerfully voiced. but not often heard character

This play was all over the place for me. The actors performances were good. The storyline seemed to drag on in some places. Sugar Daddy, of course, the best song performed. Overall it was entertaining and I'd recommend it.

I saw the show twice on Broadway (with Darren Criss as a lead) and completely loved it. I was really excited to see it again on the touring schedule for Chicago. The two leads in this group are fantastic and make it a great show. Highly recommend.

The music in this show was fun, but this show was just not our cup of tea. We enjoyed Kinky Boots so much more.

This was the first show I have seen that I was truly disappointed in. First of all either something was not good with the sound system.-- the beginning number was totally unintelligible. I have excellent hearing and so does my daughter and neither of us could understand one word of the song. The band was very loud, but the singer did have a mic. A friend a few rows in front of us said the same thing. A few times during the show, there were other songs(without the loud band playing) that were kind of "swallowed" also. I have been to many shows at the Oriental Theatre and never had this experience. My daughter and I, as well as the friend sitting elsewhere were also disappointed in the show as a whole...quote my daughter, "How much did I pay for this?" I knew what the story was about, but didn't feel this performance got the essence of it. The 2 leads are definitely talented actors, but we all just felt that something was missing, as well as the poor sound system.

I absolutely loved it! The cast was incredible, and the production was breathtaking. I'm seriously considering going back to see it again before it leaves Chicago. So great!

Worth every penny. Euan Morton is spectacular as Hedwig. I've seen 5 different productions of this show, and he's my favorite Hedwig yet.

Euan Morton is phenomenal as Hedwig: his singing rocks, his storytelling is poignant, and his audience interactions are spot on. Hannah Corneau as Yitzhak is excellent next to him, and she definitely holds her own.

Fantastically entertaining. The cast was on fire and worked so well together. The energy in the room left everyone with a smile on their face.

This is the ONLY theater production I have ever walked out on. We waited until it was more than half way over, because we just kept hoping it would improve, but it never did. Also, I won't say I was offended because it takes a lot to offend me, but humping an audience members face was in poor taste. Our group of three wholeheartedly agreed that this was a HUGE waste of money and a big disappointment.

I have seen Hedwig and the angry inch before and own the soundtrack. It is an amazing story and recommend people see it! My problem is with the sound system at this show. I have never been to the Oriental Theatre before so not sure if it's the venue or just this particular sound system. Went with a few friends who have never seen the show/movie. They had a hard time understanding what the lyrics of the songs were and missed out. It was hard to understand what was being sang. Which took away from the overall potential the show had to be even more amazing.

Loved it - but it's not for everyone. The performers were outstanding; I wish it was here longer so that I could see it again

I was really curious about how this would translate to the stage, and they did a great job. The cast was phenomenal and let's be honest, this is all about the music. I was not disappointed. Go see it!

I've never seen this show live before. I'm very familiar with the music and I have seen the movie version, which I love, but it doesn't even compare to seeing this show live. It is so powerful and the music is amazing. The actors were phenominal and I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys contemporary theater. The subject matter is mature, so be prepared for that. But the overall message is beautiful and it was a wonderful show.

If you are going into this show without doing any research, you may be in for an interesting ride. Hopefully, you ll let the music and powerful central character into your heart and you ll have the time of your life. Keep in mind, this show is not for everyone. Even in 2017, many of its themes (gender roles, love, sexuality, belonging, wholeness) may be a bit too edgy for some. Hedwig is a character that is at times lovable yet mean, hilarious yet solemn, wise yet lost. But at her core, she is a pillar of strength. The show is incredibly witty and full of heart. We can all see a bit of ourselves in Hedwig. This is not your typical musical, so do not expect elaborate dance routines or complex set pieces. The show features such phenomenal songs and complex character development, it has more than enough to keep you on the edge of your seat without the normal musical theater trappings. Please give this show a chance. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt like a misfit, an other . Come with an open mind and get ready to lift up your hands!

I have loved this show since I first saw the movie in the early 90's. Seeing/hearing it live was a terrific experience. Hedwig hasn't aged a bit, and she's only become more relevant. Go now!!!

I was Surprised that a "rock show" could be boring - but it was. The singing and music were excellent. Very poor sound production. Hedwig explained her life story in between songs - but it was so slow moving and difficult to hear, one fell asleep.

It was not funny at all and too much lighting was really uncomfortable. Music was OK.
