Ben Platt Tours His latest Album
Best known for originating the role of troubled teen Evan Hansen in all three of Dear Evan Hansen's Washington, Off-Broadway and Broadway productions, Ben Platt's star is on the rise! Not only winning a Tony but also a Grammy for his title role, Platt's powerhouse vocals and acting chops have rightfully found their way to a collaboration with Lin Manuel Miranda, as well as roles on 'Pitch Perfect' and the newly released DEH movie. It comes as no surprise that the multi-talented performer is hitting the road once again in 2024!
Platt's debut studio album, 'Sing To Me Instead', chronicled the highs and lows of a relationship from start to finish including the addictive butterfly stages, arising complications, the dissolving of love and the finding of self. Unapologetically pop, Platt wrote the album with the likes of Kesha-hitmaker Ben Abraham and Charli XCX writer Michael Pollack, and cites Adele and Sam Smith as his influences. Now he's back with a brand new album, 'Honeymind'. Hear his new material plus hits from the previous album when he performs near you!

Doubts Be Damned
Ben Platt puts on a gorgeous performance in a gorgeous theater, prompting me to attend the show twice. Though he can seem awkward or anxious when speaking to the audience, his vocals shine through in a selection of consistent near-perfect performances of original work and covers--not a bad note was hit either night. Even those who are unfamiliar with his work leave appreciators of his talent. The crowd was on their feet on multiple occasions--covers of Maybe This Time and Somewhere Over The Rainbow serving as both a nod to the icons of Palace Theater past and a response to why he deserves a spot on that stage. Rather than asking why Platt is the one to open up the Palace with a three-week residency, it is important to consider who COULD perfectly sell out 30,000 seats across shows on their own right now? Very few names--Broadway or not--could. Maybe a residency was not the best way to reopen the Palace, perhaps it could have been a shorter run, but Platt effortlessly swings the bat. ... Read more

INCREDIBLE EVENING!!
At 55 years old, I've seen thousands of LIVE shows and last night..September 29, 2019 @ Radio City Music Hall in nyc, ranks right up there with the best of them. Ben is a true entertainer with his vocal chops, crazy, wonderful movements, raw and honest emotion, comedic wit and crowd chatting. The band behind him, I believe 11 pieces, were all top of the shelf players. I'm not gonna lie, when the three incredible backing vocalists launched into an a beautiful acapella section, I was so blown away that my eyes welled up with such strong emotional response. To top it off, someday soon, I can watch the exact concert over and over again on Netflix. A hard 10 Stars, and it was easy to see 6,000 other folks in attendance were in agreement. ... Read more

Great
Enjoyed his show immensely. He shared his personal life in such a touching and interesting way. His vocals were outstanding and combined with his dancing and emoting made for a great night. Couldn’t believe how many many in the audience knew the lyrics. Only wished that he would sing at least one song from Dear Evan Hanson. But, can’t have everything. ... Read more
