The "Rocky Horror" of our generation is gracing us with,yet again, another extravagent cinema performance. Directed by John Cameron Mitchell, this film is playing AM shows at the IFC Center (of course). So, don't forget to feather your hair and rock out in your most sparkly lipstick. Not comfortable with that? Well then you can just pencil a Tommy Gnosis symbol on your forehead!




"Adapted from the critically acclaimed off-Broadway hit, Hedwig and the Angry Inch tells the story of an "internationally ignored" rock singer, Hedwig, and her search for love and stardom. Born a boy named Hansel whose life's dream is to find his other half, Hedwig reluctantly submits to a sex change operation in order to marry an American G.I. and get over the Berlin Wall to freedom. The operation is botched, leaving her with the aforementioned "angry inch." Finding herself high, dry and divorced in a Kansas trailer park, she pushes on to form a rock band and encounters a lover/protégé in young Tommy Gnosis, who eventually leaves her, steals her songs and becomes a huge rock star."
