About


The first 100 audience members to arrive will receive a free wig. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own!

Hedwig’s back! Hedwig and the Angry Inch creator, star, and Tony-winner John Cameron Mitchell breaks out the famous wig for this intimate musical theater spectacle. Mitchell’s cabaret-style show revisits his glam-rock masterwork through cult classic songs—Wig in a Box, Wicked Little Town, and Origin of Love included—and insider stories. For “Hed-heads” and newcomers alike, The Origin of Love is a tribute to the joyous, punk-rock spirit of one of alt-culture’s boldest creations.

A love letter to Hedwig fans everywhere.
