Tony Award winner J. Harrison Ghee joins The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul to discuss their transformative Some Like It Hot journey, taking intentional time to rest and more.

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. 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.
