John Cameron Mitchell Taking ‘Hedwig & the Angry Inch’ 4K Restoration On The Road For 25th Anniversary

Writer, director and star John Cameron Mitchell is embarking on a North American tour featuring a 4K restoration of his 2001 cult movie musical 'Hedwig & the Angry Inch,' celebrating the film's 25th anniversary across the United States and Canada, beginning June 14 in Orlando, Florida, as the beloved underground production continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. The tour, produced by Jeremy Wein for ThisMyShow Presents, offers fans an immersive experience beyond just the restored film. Mitchell himself will be in attendance at each screening, participating in post-show conversations, audience Q&A sessions, and special acoustic performances. Additionally, he will host post-show meet-and-greets, providing devoted followers with rare opportunities to interact with the creative force behind the iconic character. This comprehensive engagement marks a significant moment for the cult classic, which has maintained a dedicated fan base since its initial release. 'Hedwig & the Angry Inch' originated as an off-Broadway musical before Mitchell adapted it for the screen, creating a unique blend of rock music, theatrical performance, and LGBTQ+ storytelling that has achieved legendary status in cult cinema. The film follows the journey of Hedwig, a transgender East German rock singer navigating identity, love, and stardom, with its exploration of gender identity making it particularly significant within LGBTQ+ cultural history.
