I know a lot of musical casts have been using lockdowns to create collaborative 'reunion' type videos, and when I saw this one from Hedwig and the Angry Inch last night it just seemed fitting to share. I particularly love that it didn't just include the most well known Hedwigs, like John Cameron Mitchell, Neil Patrick Harris and Darren Criss, but Jinkx Monsoon! I'm still crushed that I never got to see the show with her in it.
We all have shitty days - the world has been pretty shitty in 2020. What songs help get you in that headspace to cope with shittiness and bring you back to your better self? Please make sure to tell us why they have an uplifting impact on you.
For me, this song is a good reminder of taking the time to do that. Put on some music and do something just for yourself that makes you feel good. Whether that's makeup and wigs, like Hedwig, or something else, find what helps you and embrace it when you need to.
I'm also going to add this one: it's a collab of Happy Together and a family friend features in it.
