This is the soundtrack on repeat as I finish writing "Fairwil." I'm mad for its big, lavish emotion, its cheek, its heart, and its non-stop rock-opera theatricality.
And John Cameron Mitchell? One of my forever theatre sweethearts. I saw him on Broadway as Dickon in "The Secret Garden" in 1991 and have been a heart-fluttery fan ever since.
But I am certifiably over the moon for Hedwig. I can't think about the final scene, with Michael Pitt, if you know the film, without welling up. So, yep, lots of "Wicked Little Town" today.
