Modern strides in technology have not only altered the way that we purchase goods, book travel and monitor the news, but they have also changed the way that we listen to and criticize music.

In the quirky rock opera, Mitchell played the title character Hedwig, a glam rock artist who suffers a botched sex change operation, leaving her lost between two genders. Hedwig tours America with her band on a determined search for fame and her other half.
