About this episode
Tony Award-winning actor and director John Benjamin Hickey discusses his career and cherished music on Tracks of Our Queers.
Tony Award-winning actor and director John Benjamin Hickey joins me on Tracks of Our Queers. From his breakout role in Terrence McNally's Love! Valour! Compassion! to his devastating turn in Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart , John has been at the heart of some of theatre's most important queer work. Far from being typecast, John has appeared in hundreds of roles across TV, film, and theatre (I loved him in The Big C , and of course, the dad in Pitch Perfect ). Outside of acting and directing, John once presented his own music interview series on SiriusXM, My Favorite Song . It's a thrill to turn the interviewing tables on him and hear about some of his most cherished music, through a queer lense.
