From: Towleroad

I’m still in shock so I’m using music to try and come to terms with what happened last night. Check out 12 tracks that feel apropos today.

1. 

Kelly Clarkson’s cover of “It’s Quiet Uptown” from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton.

We’re living through the unimaginable.

“Another Suitcase in Another Hall” performed by Madonna from Evita

So what happens now?

3. 

“Defying Gravity” from Wicked

I hope you’re happy, now that you’re choosing this.

4. 

“No One Is Alone” from Into the Woods

Mother cannot guide you, now you’re on your own.

5. 

“Still Hurting”from The Last Five Years

OK, so it’s never played on Broadway but this cult classic is an honorary Broadway baby.

6. 

“Tear Me Down” from Hedwig & The Angry Inch

I’m the new Berlin Wall, baby.

7.

 “I Know Where I’ve Been” from Hairspray

There’s a dream

In the future

There’s a struggle

We have yet to win

And there’s pride

In my heart

‘Cause I know

Where i’m going

And  I know where I've been

8.

 “I Dreamed A Dream” from Les Miserables

When hope was high and life worth living…

9.

 “And I am Telling You I’m Not Going” from Dreamgirls

Rally to this after you get the ugly cry out of your system.

10. 

“Springtime for Hitler” from The Producers

If you’re into really disturbing irony.

11. 

“Rainbow Connection” from The Muppet Movie / The Muppets

Okay, it’s from a movie musical, but the hopeful tone here is really needed today.

12.

 “Climb Ev’ry Mountain”from The Sound of Music

Let’s feel all our feels, but let’s keep going.
