Broadway BUZZ

J. Harrison Ghee won the 2023 Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical, making history as the first non-binary actor to be nominated and win in this category for their role as Daphne/Jerry in Some Like It Hot, a role which also garnered them Grammy, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards, as well as Drama League and Chita Rivera Award nominations. Recently J. starred in the world premiere of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil as well as the off-Broadway smash Saturday Church. Ghee was selected by Billy Porter to star as Robyn/Kevin on the hit FOX series Accused, and previously played the series regular of Kwame on Netflix’s Raising Dion. On Broadway, they starred as Lola in Kinky Boots, created the role of Andre Mayhem in Mrs. Doubtfire, and have dazzled audiences in roles such as Velma Kelly in Chicago and Johnny Hooker in The Sting, opposite Harry Connick, Jr. Ghee hopes that something they do or say reaches the heart at least one person to inspire them to dream big and go full-out for those dreams.
