Performers [first round] decided
J. Harrison Ghee
He won the 2023 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his role as Jerry/Daphne in the Broadway musical “Some Like It Hot'' (the stage version of the movie “Some Like It Hot''). This is the first time in history that an openly non-binary actor has won the award, and it has attracted attention from around the world. A musical star with ties to Japan, she started her career at Tokyo DisneySea, and in 2016 she played the role of Laura in the Broadway musical Kinky Boots, which came to Japan. After that, he played the same role in the Broadway production, and with his charismatic performance, he won the hearts of many audiences and gained popularity. This year, she played the role of Lady Chablis in the musical version of the popular novel “Midnight on the Savannah,” which was made into a movie by Clint Eastwood. Other appearances include “Mrs. Doubtfire'' (as Andre) and “Chicago'' (as Velma Kelly).
