HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH Midnights This Weekend at The Tivoli

” It’s my first day as a woman, already it’s that time of the month.”

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH screens midnights this weekend (September 6th and 7th) at The Tivoli Theater (6350 Delmar) as part of their ‘Reel Late at The Tivoli’ Midnight Series. A Facebook invite for the screening can be found HERE

The winner of numerous awards including the Audience and Director awards at Sundance, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH (2001) is the film of an original stage musical comedy that played off Broadway for over two years. It centers on Hedwig (John Cameron Mitchell, not to be confused with Cameron Mitchell, who would also have been good in the role),whose only way of escaping from East Berlin is to undergo a sex-change and assume his mother’s identity. Unfortunately the operation goes wrong and he is left with an `angry inch’. Escaping to America, he forms a rock band whilst seeking the soul partner that will fulfill his destiny. Loaded with songs that you will be humming all the way out of the Tivoli, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH is the funniest, most outrageously entertaining movie of its kind since ROCKY HORROR. Unlike that classic, it does have some more serious philosophical reflections built into it (mostly via the songs), but it rocks and injects some seriously funny pizzaz into the transgender scene. A must-see movie this weekend at The Tivoli!
