Hitchcock emerged in the late 1970s with the band the Soft Boys before earning cult status as a solo artist in the 1980s with college-radio staples such as “The Man with the Light Bulb Head,” “Balloon Man” and “Madonna of the Wasps.” In 1998, he made the concert movie Storefront Hitchcock with Academy Award-winning director Jonathan Demme and has since made cameo appearances in two other Demme films, The Manchurian Candidate and Rachel Getting Married.
His 2006 album Ole! Tarantula featured “A Man’s Gotta Know His Limitations Briggs,” a song inspired by Magnum Force. As Hitchcock tells The Guardian, “It's a film that seemed to be on all the time when I was on tour. By the fifth time [I saw it], I became addicted to it. It’s taken a very strange hold on my life.”
Magnum Force finds "Dirty" Harry Callahan settling into his new post in the stakeout department after being taken off the homicide beat. Tipped off to a vigilante group that has targeted several notorious gang bosses and drug runners, Harry comes face to face with murder suspects, mafia kingpins and pimps during his investigation, and utters his most famous line, “Do you feel lucky, punk?”
No further details of the stage show have been announced.
