- **Event Description**: Theatrical icon John Cameron Mitchell celebrates the music and lyrics of David Bowie with Jude York and Amber Martin.

Two-time Tony Award-winning star and creator of Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Shortbus, John Cameron Mitchell makes his Melbourne Recital Centre debut with I’m Afraid of Americans – A Bowie Song Cycle, a riveting theatrical concert celebrating David Bowie. 

Gary Oldman once said of the rock icon, 'Don't you feel that since he died, the world's gone to sh*t?' John agrees and blends Bowie’s most apocalyptic songs with songs of quiet healing into an emotionally electrifying journey that explains how Hedwig was born (Bowie was an early supporter) and how the cultural icon predicted where the world is today, exactly ten years after he left us.

Joined by the angelic voice of Australia’s rising new star Jude York, and vocal powerhouse Amber Martin (Scissor Sisters), with musical direction by Matthew Katz-Bohen (Blondie) and lighting design by Jojo Franjoine, this visually striking production fuses rock concert, cabaret and theatre.

Part celebration, part meditation, this unforgettable evening honours Bowie’s fearless imagination, timeless music and enduring influence.
