Seattle has a Rising Star and even the people at LOGO know it. Jinkx Monsoon (the Talent of Jerick Hoffer) will be competing on season 5 of Rupaul's Drag race, but before the premiere, Hoffer wowed an Audience this past Thursday in Balagan Theater/STG Presents production of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" at Seattle's Moore Theater.

Hoffer has taken over the role in a new production after over a decade, when another rising star, Nick Garrison had first played the title role (Garrison last played Hedwig in a 2009 Chicago production).

Hoffer as Hedwig is Phenomenal and Multidimensional as he Plays multiple roles and his singing voice is pitch perfect going from Ballads to a Glam rock star.
