Graduation looks very different from the class of 2020, but the Schitt’s Creek distribution and Mariah Carey are here to make things a little brighter. The Pop TV crew sent a message of character to the students as part of the YouTube “Dear Class of 2020” virtual beginning of the celebration, which included an a capella performance of Carey’s classic hit “Hero”. Patrick and Twyla (played by Noah Reid and Sarah Levy) took the initiative, with the support of the Roses and Moira is Jazzagals, up to the Grammy Award-winning singer herself jumped in to finish things.
Carey music plays a key role in the Schitt’s Creek universe, especially in David and Patrick’s love story. “You are my Mariah Carey” is a phrase from the show printed on t-shirts and coffee mugs, for example. The cast of the beautiful rendition was made even more sweet by his surprise appearance. Watch the full video above to see the performance, in addition to all the excited in the character of the reaction of Moira to Stevie.
