This Week in Arts: Weekly Roundup (7/2)

Continuing Runs
Harlequin Productions: Hedwig & the Angry Inch
Don’t Miss. “This rock show is full of hard love, and that makes it an easy one to love hard.”
“As Hedwig, the star, Adam Rennie is thoroughly engrossing. … Working the room, Rennie-as-Hedwig has the audience in her fishnet-wrapped hands. … The unsung hero, Yitzhak’s talent is obvious; the simmering resentment in Mandy Rose Nichøls’ portrayal is palpable; and the love/hate chemistry between them and Rennie makes for a stellar show.”
Closing 7/30, in Olympia. Tickets ($46, with multiple discount and PWYC options) here; schedule of opening bands is here.
