Stage review: 'Hedwig' and Euan Morton rock out at the Benedum

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Just got back from a concert and had a great time but, man, was it freaky.

There was this wacked-out German singer named Hedwig who told her insane life story and rocked out to some wild songs. What, you think you have an insane life? Listen to this: She was born a man, slept in a bed with her cold mother into her 20s, had a botched sexual reassignment operation to escape East Germany, just before the Berlin Wall came down! Then, her teenage lover, Tommy Gnosis, stole her music and became an arena rocker — he was at PNC Park last night while she was playing the Benedum Center.
