John Cameron Mitchell Steps Back Into Hedwig Drag and Looks Fierce

John Cameron Mitchell makes his long-awaited return to Hedwig and the Angry Inch on January 20 at the Belasco Theatre, and judging by these amazing photos, it's every theater geek's dream come true.

Mitchell's appearance in Michael Mayer's 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. Mitchell's other acting credits include Girls, The Secret Garden, and Six Degrees of Separation.

Mitchell, the show's coauthor and original star, plays an eight-week engagement opposite Lena Hall, who continues her Tony-winning run as Yitzhak. The musical features a score by Stephen Trask.
