1 of my favorite films of all time! I had re-watched it a dozen times when I had the wonderful opportunity to see it twice live when it returned to Broadway - first with "Dexter's" Michael C. Hall as (a very muscle-toned) Hedwig, and 2nd with the creator Mitchell himself. The music rocks, the lyrics prophetic, the storyline unique and engaging. Also really fun to learn the backstory of how the story evolved from the creative improv genius of John Cameron Mitchell in NYC bars. If you love "Rocky Horror Picture Show", you'll love this too.

Gosh, I have so many mixed feelings. If on one hand I feel like I have just watched a cinematic masterpiece, with the cleverest, wittiest, most insightful dialogue, one of the most striking leading performances I’ve seen in a minute, and insane visuals. On the other, its subject matter is so sensi More

Here's a musical that I had never really considered before. I think that's a shame, because this is actually a pretty great one both from the theater and film perspective.

First, and most important, the music is fantastic. I'll admit, I liked it but didn't love it while watching, More
