Stephen Trask the Genius Behind Hedwig

Stephen Trask composed the music and lyrics for the Broadway hit musical, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." Before "Hedwig" was a massive hit on the great white way, it was a movie (that became a cult classic) which was in turn based upon the critically revered underground off-broadway hit that ran for two years at New York's Jane Street theater. Stephen sat down with Ron Bennington to talk about Hedwig and her many incarnations.
