Broadway cast recording of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" gets July 1 release date

Nominated for 8 Tony Awards this year, the Broadway production of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" will release the new cast recording on July 1.

The celebrated revival of John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask's cult rock musical opened April 22 at the Belasco Theatre with Neil Patrick Harris starring as Hedwig, a fictional East German singer living as a female after botched gender-reassignment surgery. Lena Hall costars as Yitzhak, Hedwig's husband and backup singer, who's desperate to unleash his inner drag diva.

Composer and producer of the album Stephen Trask on the new recording: "Anyone who has spent more than five minutes with me in the last three months knows how excited I am by the new versions of these songs. The talents of Neil and Lena and this amazing f*cking band have made these the best version of the score ever."
