John Cameron Mitchell ORIGIN OF LOVE Tour

Not sure how I missed this, but John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask are bringing The Origin of Love: The Songs and Stories of Hedwig to NYC next June, for 2 dates on Pride weekend at The Town Hall. Saturday, June 29, 2019, is sold out, but there are plenty of seats still available for Friday, June 28. I think it sounds like an amazing night.

John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask, the Tony Award winning co-creators of Hedwig & the Angry Inch plus special guests present an exclusive 50th Pride Celebration, performing songs from their groundbreaking rock musical and regaling audiences with stories from 25 years of Hedwig. So put on some make-up, turn up the eight-track and pull the wig down from the shelf – for a night of post-punk, neo-glam memoir!

I just bought two tickets. I'm surprised at how cheap they were. The fees were ridiculous though...

I went to the first night last night in DC and I thought it was VERY FUN. JCM was hilarious during the stories he was telling (a lot of it was making fun of DC which is pretty easy to do tbh) He did Hedwig songs and some other songs from his upcoming project.

FYI there's a merch table! Shirts, keychains, coasters, signed posters. There were people waiting for him at the stage door but I didn't wait to see if/when he came out.

March 2 in Boston! Lots of tix available!



I had no idea this existed

How long was the show? Do you think it would be ok taking someone not familiar with Hedwig or is Hedwig knowledge a necessity?

$48 = $64 including fees. So annoying.

We got the same e-mail and bought tix with the same damn fees.

Are there tour dates posted anywhere? Hoping this comes to the Bay Area.

FYI, tonight's special guests were Lena Hall, Miriam Shor, and Neil Patrick Harris.

It was really great, although I have to admit I'm not a concert person. Quite a bit of non-Hedwig filler, which I could have done without. A LOT of merchandise, and an auction.

But they sang every song from Hedwig, including some rare and very special cuts. There were some very exciting guest stars doing some very exciting things. :)

Definitely not to be missed."

Can you post more details as a spoiler?
