25 Years of the Musical Classic!

Celebrating 25 years since the release of John Cameron Mitchell's glam rock odyssey, the writer, director and star appears live on this special movie screening tour! Join Mitchell for a Q&A, live acoustic performance and 4k screening of the much loved movie that became an underground classic. Inspired by the music of David Bowie and Lou Reed, the film follows the exploits of transgender singer Hedwig, a rebellious force of nature who has gone down as one of musical theatre's most powerful characters. Brilliantly exploring issues of gender politics, Hedwig is first and foremost an insanely vibrant and full-throttle musical marvel.

What IS Hedwig About?

Hedwig is a rock 'n' roll musical about a fictional rock 'n' roll band called The Angry Inch. They're led by an outrageous transgender singer named Hedwig, formerly a German 'slip of a girlyboy' named Hansel, who had a sex-change operation in order to escape from East Berlin as a married woman. The story is told from Hedwig's perspective as the audience "follows" her and her band as they tour the country in the shadow of rockstar Tommy Gnosis, with Hedwig relating her life story and her thwarted dreams of rock stardom. On the 25th anniversary of this brilliant cult classic, don't miss this special screening and Q&A with the movie's star.
