Movie Haiku:Concert play about an East German transvestite made into a colorful, imaginative film – strong songs, great costumes, & playful cartoon graphics. Hansel becomes Hedwig so s/he can marry a GI lover & come to America. Shows its stage roots in the many musical numbers, but still highly enjoyable. (Adults only!)
