in today’s heartwarming news, kubo got to attend a showing of “hedwig and the angry inch” in japan and meet its creator, john cameron mitchell - who is, as i’m sure we know, one of the inspirations for victor’s character and design. both of them look so happy!

“hedwig” loosely draws from some of mitchell’s experiences and takes on thematic questions of lgbtq/gender identity. it won a tony in 2014 for its revival.
