Two time Tony Award-winning star of stage and screen John Cameron Mitchell, one of alt-culture’s boldest visionaries, takes the West End stage for the very first time Tue 8 July at the Adelphi Theatre.
Marking 25 years since the London premiere of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Mitchell presents a spectacular one-night-only celebration of his career and of the cult classic that changed theatre forever, with the help of longtime Hedwig collaborators Justin Craig (Music Director of Stereophonic) and Shannon Conley (former lead singer of the tribute band Lez Zeppelin).
This special performance will feature beloved Hedwig anthems, selections from Mitchell’s former and upcoming projects and deep cut classics from his acclaimed David Bowie tribute show, Queen Bitch. Expect the unexpected – from the glittering glam that rocked him as a boy living in early 70’s Scotland, to gut-punching ballads spanning Off-Broadway, Broadway, Hollywood and beyond — as Mitchell opens his heart and history to the city that first embraced Hedwig a quarter-century ago.
Dress to Express as we celebrate the transformative power of music, love and radical self-expression.
