Atlanta, get ready to rock, cry, laugh, and have your mind blown — all in one unforgettable night. John Cameron Mitchell, the visionary creator and star behind one of the most groundbreaking cult films in modern history, is bringing the Hedwig and the Angry Inch 25th Anniversary Movie Tour to the iconic Buckhead Theatre on June 17, 2026. This is not just a screening. This is a full-blown cultural event, and Atlanta is lucky enough to be on the map.

A Quarter Century of Hedwig's Angry Inch

Twenty-five years ago, Hedwig and the Angry Inch exploded onto the scene and forever changed what audiences expected from music, film, and identity-driven storytelling. The film — written, directed by, and starring John Cameron Mitchell — became an instant cult classic, a queer anthem, and a masterpiece of raw emotional power. Songs like "Wig in a Box" and "Origin of Love" didn't just entertain — they healed people. They still do.

Now, Mitchell is hitting the road to celebrate this milestone in the most spectacular way possible: live, in-person, with the man himself. This anniversary tour is a rare, intimate experience that blends film screening with live performance and the unmistakable energy that only John Cameron Mitchell can bring to a room.
