The critically acclaimed musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch makes its video debut on Tuesday, December 11, on VHS and DVD. (The latter includes a great deal of supplementary material, including a 90-minute documentary on the show's evolution from stage to screen.)

The more specific you are, I also find, the more universal your story can be, because you trust that that person really can exist in the world. There's a lot of nuance to it."
