Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is Hedwig drinking in the song "Wig in a Box"?

Answer: Vermouth on the rocks

Hedwig sings "Wig in a Box" while she is alone in her trailer after Luther has left her. The lyrics that reveal her cocktail are "I look up from my vermouth on the rocks. The gift wrapped wig's still in the box of towering velveteen."
2. What words are on Tommy Speck's shirt when he is watching Hedwig perform "Wicked Little Town"?

Answer: God doesn't believe in atheists

At this point in the movie, Hedwig is performing with her Korean back-up band. Towards the end of the song, she notices Tommy watching her, hidden behind some plants towards the rear of the restaurant, wearing a white shirt with the words "God doesn't believe in atheists" written on it.
3. What correction does Tommy make on the back of his cd when he gives it to Hedwig?

Answer: He gives Hedwig credit for writing the music.

Tommy has stolen all of Hedwig's songs and gained stardom from them, while Hedwig's band has collapsed. Hedwig is waiting in an alley when Tommy drives up in his limousine and picks her up. We see him write on the back of his cd and hand it to her. He has written "Hedwig Robinson" on the cd, giving her credit for writing the music and lyrics for his songs.
4. In the song "Origin of Love," which god is responsible for splitting humans in half so that they only have two legs instead of four?

Answer: Zeus

This is the second time we see Hedwig perform at Bilgewater's. "Origin of Love", which is based on a story from Plato's "Symposium", discusses how humans were originally two people "glued up back to back", and Zeus split them in two. Thor wanted to kill everyone with his hammer, but Zeus said he would use his "lightning like scissors" to cut everyone in half.
5. When Hedwig gives Tommy singing lessons, where does she have him sing?

Answer: In an oven

At this point in the movie, Hedwig gives Tommy lessons on rock history, lyrics, grooming, and vocal training. Since Hansel was forced to "play in the oven" as a child because the apartment was so small, he grew up practising singing in the oven. So, Hedwig has Tommy practice singing in the oven.
6. Where does the Broadway tour of "Rent" that Yitzhak tries out for sail?

Answer: U.S. Polynesia and Guam

The scene right after Hedwig and Phyllis fail to attend Tommy's "private event" is in a laundromat. Yitzhak finds the ad on the wall in the laundromat and it specifically states that it's a tour of U.S. Polynesia and Guam. Later, when Yitzhak informs Hedwig that she has the part, she states that she is going to Guam... right before Hedwig rips up her passport.
7. What color is Hedwig's microphone stand when she sings "Origin of Love" at Bilgewater's?

Answer: Pink

The stand can clearly be seen when Hedwig first starts singing "Origin of Love". The same microphone stand is also seen when Hedwig and the Angry Inch perform at the Menses Fair.
8. When Hedwig sings "Wicked Little Town", whose people does she say she's talking to when she advises the audience to put a bid on her song for karaoke?

Answer: Phil Collins

This statement is made while Hedwig is giving an introduction to the song. Immediately before she starts singing the song, she states "you might want to put a bid on this one. We're talking to Phil Collins' people. But then again aren't we all?" Kurt Cobain is mentioned earlier in her introduction, when she says "That kid's really got a future, huh?"
9. Which of the following people makes an appearance in the film?

Answer: Rosie O'Donnell

After Hedwig gets in a car accident with Tommy Gnosis, she receives the credit she deserves for all the songs she has written. There are subsequent brief scenes of the fame that follows, one of which includes Hedwig embracing Rosie O'Donnell. John Cameron Mitchell appeared on Rosie O'Donnell's show in October, 2001.
10. How does Hansel's mom, Hedwig Schmitt, respond when Hansel says Jesus died for our sins?

Answer: So did Hitler.

We get a glimpse into Hansel's upbringing in this scene, which presents Hansel watching his favorite cartoon "Jesus was Good". The dialogue is in German with English subtitles. His mother follows the Hitler comment with the advice to remain powerless.
