Hedwig and The Angry Inch

Hedwig and the Angry Inch returns to the big screen for its 25th anniversary, but this isn’t just a nostalgia trip. John Cameron Mitchell, the creative force behind the cult classic, takes the stage at The Castro Theatre for a live performance that blurs the line between film and concert. The Bay Area’s all-queer rock band Skip The Needle joins him, amplifying the film’s raw energy with their own electric presence. The screening itself is a rare treat, projected in 35MM, giving Hedwig’s glitter-soaked journey a tactile immediacy that digital can’t match. The Castro’s ornate interior and storied history add another layer to the experience, making the night feel both intimate and larger than life. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, this is a singular collision of queer cinema, live music, and San Francisco’s enduring spirit.
