I love movies, but have always felt there’s something extra
special about going to the theater. I’m in awe of people who can get up on
stage and transport an audience to another place and/or time for two or three
hours with no option of retakes, editing or action-packed scenes to distract
the audience from humdrum performances. On stage, being good-looking is not enough,
there has to be talent too, whether in acting, singing or dancing or, in the
case of plays like Hedwig
and the Angry Inch, all three.
