Hedwig & The Angry Inch
The Castro Theatre is proud to present a special 25th Anniversary screening of the groundbreaking movie musical, Hedwig & The Angry Inch! Adapted from the critically acclaimed off-Broadway rock theater hit, Hedwig and the Angry Inch tells the story of the “internationally ignored” rock singer, Hedwig, and her search for stardom and love.
Presented in glorious 35MM, this screening event will feature an in-person appearance and musical performance from writer, star, and director John Cameron Mitchell, accompanied by the Bay Area’s own all-queer rock band, Skip The Needle as “The Angry Inch”.
Join us at the legendary Castro Theatre to celebrate a legendary evening of queer cinema, explosive rock music, and the enduring power of self-love and acceptance. This is a cinematic and musical event for Hedwig fans old and new—don’t miss your chance to experience the film and its creator live!
