The Origin of Love

When I go to Portland, I'm often reminded of the person I was when I first moved there in 2001. Mostly the same, but delightfully naive. I remember one of my first social activities was to go see Hedwig and the Angry Inch at Cinema 21.

I'm always open to new ways to present a musical, and I thought Hedwig was a total success. That said, I haven't re-watched it until today. It holds up! "Wig in a Box" is one of the greatest "dancing around your room alone" songs ever. In fact, the whole soundtrack is a treat. If you've never seen the movie/play, here's a really pretty and surprisingly touching scene with some cool animation.
