Summary
Celebrate 25 years of Hedwig’s defiant rock ‘n’ roll revolution as John Cameron Mitchell hits the road for Hedwig 25 — a special tour blending high-res film screenings, live Q&As, and acoustic sets. Born from AIDS-era rage and glam-punk roots, this cult classic follows genderqueer singer Hedwig Robinson and her “angry inch,” becoming a beacon for queer identity. From Off-Broadway triumphs to Broadway glory (with Neil Patrick Harris and Lena Hall), Mitchell reflects on how LGBTQ+ stories have evolved — and why now, amid cancel culture and digital noise, raw, unfiltered art matters more than ever. With possible collabs with Rosalía and Amyl and the Sniffers, this tour isn’t just a reunion — it’s a rebirth. Catch the intimate LA shows at Wilshire Ebell on Sept 17-18.
