John Cameron Mitchell at Mimi Ohio Theatre At Playhouse Square

Some cult favorites ask for a rewatch. Hedwig and the Angry Inch asks for a night out. John Cameron Mitchell brings the film's 25th-anniversary tour to Mimi Ohio Theatre at Playhouse Square on Friday, November 13, and the evening is much bigger than a screening.

Fans get the film in 4K, then a live Q&A and a special mini acoustic performance from Mitchell himself. That is the kind of lineup that turns a movie musical into an event. Criterion calls Hedwig a trailblazing musical and a tribute to the transcendent power of rock and roll, and the story still delivers punk bite, sharp wit and feeling that never plays small. Seeing it with the person who helped make it a landmark changes how it hits.

Playhouse Square also adds a pre-show costume contest, which makes the room a gathering of people who know exactly why this title matters. If Hedwig has stayed with you for years, this is your chance to share it with a crowd that feels the same way. It is a night for fans who have waited a long time to hear the story with the people who care about it most, and for newcomers curious about why it still has such a devoted following. Get Hedwig tickets for Friday, November 13.
