This November 9,2026 South Florida is in for an unforgettable night of music, cinema, and queer culture. The iconic Hedwig and the Angry Inch and its brilliant creator — writer, director, and Golden Globe–nominated star John Cameron Mitchell — are bringing the film’s 25th Anniversary tour to The Parker in Fort Lauderdale. The special evening will feature a glorious 4K big-screen screening of the award-winning masterpiece, followed by Mitchell live on stage to share stories, answer fan questions, and deliver an intimate acoustic performance.
Since its debut in 2001, Hedwig and the Angry Inch has solidified its place as a groundbreaking piece of LGBTQ+ cinema. Hailed by Entertainment Weekly as “Soundtrack of the Year” and praised by Rolling Stone as “maybe the best rock movie musical ever,” this cult classic tells the raw, hilarious, and deeply emotional story of Hedwig—a gender-queer punk-rock singer from East Berlin touring America with her band while chasing down the former lover who stole her songs.
Fans across the country have been turning out in full force for this nationwide celebration, bringing electric energy to every city. Attendees are encouraged to dress to impress for the pre-show costume contest, where the best Hedwig or film-inspired look will walk away with prizes courtesy of The Criterion Collection and The Punk Rock Museum. After the film, Mitchell will take the stage for a candid Q&A and a varied acoustic setlist that promises at least one cherished Hedwig anthem, alongside exclusive meet-and-greet options for ticket holders.
Adding even more excitement to this exclusive South Florida appearance, the Miami Film Festival will be honoring John Cameron Mitchell with their Impact Award during the show. Don’t miss this singular celebration of art, identity, and rock ‘n’ roll right here in our backyard!
