Super Swings Podcast was recorded as an immersive audio experience by Vrialto Productions. Please listen with headphones to get the full immersive audio experience. Canadian-born Broadway powerhouse Jeremy Kushnier has built a career defined by versatility, powerhouse vocals, and compelling performances. He began his Broadway journey as a swing in Rent (1996), mastering multiple roles before stepping into the spotlight as the original Ren McCormack in Footloose (1998). His signature gritty yet soaring voice, combined with his intense stage presence, has made him a standout in both leading and character roles. Over the years, Kushnier has tackled some of Broadway’s most iconic roles, from Tommy DeVito in Jersey Boys to Radames in Aida, and even the wildly comedic Basilius in Head Over Heels. His ability to transform on stage has made him a go-to performer for complex and demanding roles. True to his roots, he returned to swinging in the 2012 revival of Jesus Christ Superstar, covering Jesus, Judas, and Pilate—a rare feat that speaks to his exceptional range as both a singer and actor. After returning to Broadway as a swing in Merrily We Roll Along, Kushnier continues to bring his unmistakable talent to the stage, stepping into the role of Orin Scrivello in the Off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors. Whether leading a cast or seamlessly stepping into multiple roles, his raw intensity, vocal prowess, and fearless storytelling make him one of Broadway’s most dynamic performers.
