John Cameron Mitchell Extends His Run in Hedwig and the Angry Inch

John Cameron Mitchell will stay with the Broadway production of his musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch for six additional weeks, extending his run through April 26 at the Belasco Theatre. He was originally scheduled to star in the show through March 29.

Mitchell's appearance in Michael Mayer's Tony Award-winning revival marks his first New York stage appearance since 1998, when he originated the role of Hedwig at the Jane Street Theatre. He later starred in and directed the 2001 film version of Hedwig and the Angry Inch and received a Golden Globe nomination. He also wrote the book of the musical, with Stephen Trask penning the songs.

Lena Hall continues her Tony-winning performance as Yitzhak, the beleaguered husband of internationally ignored transgender rock star Hedwig (Mitchell). The Hedwig band is made up of Justin Craig (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Matt Duncan (bass, vocals), Tim Mislock (guitar, vocals), and Peter Yanowitz (drums, vocals).

Casting for the next Hedwig will be announced in the coming weeks.
