On the Record...with Leeds Hill

Leeds Hill, currently appearing as Bobby in CABARET through Feb. 21 at the Private Bank Theatre (18 W. Monroe), tells us what he's currently listening to:

Album title: Appetite for Destruction by Guns n' Roses

Original release date: July 21, 1987

Label: Geffen Records

What initially appealed to me: I wanted to learn more about Rock and I liked every song on this album.

Must-Listen Track: "Nighttrain"

Why it's still on my playlist: It makes me feel powerful. I'm a rockstar when I listen to this album. It's also different than most of the music I have. I'd consider myself a "goodie-two-shoes" and I have a hard time expressing what I feel because I worry about offending people or making people angry with me. It's nice to pretend to be a badass rockstar and do what I want.

CABARET runs through Feb. 21 at the Private Bank Theatre, 18 W. Monroe. Tickets, $25-$108. Call 800.775.2000. broadwayinchicago.com
