Dove Cameron on the legacy of 'Cabaret': 'Growing up as a queer person and seeing queer representation in an environment that was also so sexually liberated — those two things coupled together were really healing and necessary to see growing up for me.'
The sophomore season of the Apple series, titled “Schmicago!,” is inspired by Broadway musicals of the 1960 and ‘70s.
I caught up with Cameron over Zoom video from her part-time home in New York City. We talked about why her record label agreed to film a second music video for “Breakfast,” going public about her mental health issues and her message to LGBTQ youth as anti-queer bills continue to find momentum in state legislatures.
“What basically had happened was I filmed another music video for ‘Breakfast’ first before I left for Vancouver [to shoot ‘!’],” Cameron says. “And it was good. It was very sexy, pop girly. It was adequate and I liked it. But when we were working on the edit, the news of Roe vs. Wade broke, and I was in Canada. I was just feeling so desolate. I hadn’t felt that low in a while. I had no hope or faith in our government.
“It was heavy, it was weighing heavy on me,” Cameron, who is currently working on finishing her first album, says of the abortion ban. “My mom actually flew out because I struggle with depression like so many people do. And I was starting to feel that familiar dark cloud thing where when it’s creeping back up and you’re like, ‘No, no, no, not right now, I need to work.’ I was like, ‘Mom, I actually think I really need you out here.’”post in May.
