Just finally watched the deleted scenes on my Hedwig and the Angry Inch dvd and I’m loving the Phyllis lore included in it

In the deleted scene that jumped off of the part where Hedwig and the gang are in the mall trying to get a picture with Tommy, Phyllis tells Hedwig about her surgery to get a phone implanted into her head

She answers calls by pressing on one of her teeth and after the scene where Yitzhak finds the casting call for Rent, Krzysztof hits Phyllis in the head with the washing machine door by accident and makes her implated phone glitch out and there’s just this really fun shot of him panicking and flipping thru what can be assumed to be her instructions manual while they’re both trying to help press her tooth button to hang up the phone

Hedwig.

[god-i-dreamed-there-was-an-angel]

Hedwig is the story of a genderqueer rockstar who’s hurt over and over again, and she struggles to find herself. I’m diagnosed with anxiety and PTSD, and so the feelings of pain and struggle to know who you are is something I know very well. I relate to Hedwig a lot, especially since she has a mask up during the show, which slowly crumbles by the end. At the end (Midnight Radio), she’s stripped bare, and you see her vulnerabilities. You realize she’s so much more than the flashy stage persona she tries so hard to convince everyone she is. The whole show, she’s searching for someone to help her feel complete, to put her life back together. At the end, she realizes she is the only one who can do that for herself. She can have support, yes, but she is the only one who can take herself out of the darkness.

Hedwig isn’t broken, but she’s a little cracked around the edges. However she is able to realize who she is, and still take that with pride. Yeah she makes mistakes, she’s human, but she learns with them, and those mistakes make her who she is. She finds herself, and doesn’t let anyone tell her who she gets to be.

She’s angry. She’s hurt. She’s been hurt. But she stands back up after being kicked down repeatedly. She knows she can’t make up for her mistakes, but she’s going to do all she can to apologize to her band. They’re her family.

(My personal thought is that Hedwig is non-binary and uses she/they pronouns. Hedwig has been described as being beyond male or female, and people involved with the show have said the character IS non-binary. Somehow this is a controversial thought, which is why I’m letting everyone know how I view her. Since they use she/her in canon, I assumed Hedwig’s pronouns are she/they. Hope this makes sense!)

sometimes hedwig gets asked how she does her eyeliner because she gets lots of compliments on it, but she just says, "i don't know what to tell you, i just fuck about with a felt tip until i get roughly the shape i want and then i vow to not care whether it looks bad or not."
