Today, I’m thrilled to announce my interview with Tony winning actor and director John Benjamin Hickey. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including how Terrence McNally took a chance on him for LOVE! VALOUR! COMPASSION!, the joys of playing opposite Natasha Richardson in CABARET, singing for Stephen Sondheim, reimagining THE CRUCIBLE in the 9/11 era, how coming out helped him find ideal collaborators, how Julie White and Theresa Rebeck made him become a director, why he wanted to revive PLAZA SUITE, why his role in MARY STUART was especially challenging, how Neil Simon’s politics have been misunderstood, revisiting THE NORMAL HEART with Larry Kramer, why the revival of SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION didn’t take off, the profound effect that THE INHERITANCE had on audiences, and so much more. Don’t miss this in-depth conversation with a true Broadway favorite.
