Ben Platt In Concert

After becoming a star of musicals on stage (‘The Book of Mormon,' ‘Dear Evan Hansen') and on screen (in the ‘Pitch Perfect' franchise), Tony Award–winning actor Ben Platt is embarking on a new phase of his career as a singer-songwriter. In March 2019, he released his debut solo album, ‘Sing to Me Instead,' a collection of plaintive ballads in the vein of ‘70s piano men like Elton John, Billy Joel, and Jackson Browne. These performances provide fans with an opportunity to experience Platt's soaring voice in more intimate environs, as he mines deeply personal emotional terrain. 

Ben Platt Background

Born in 1993, actor Ben Platt has spent the majority of his life on stage or in front of the camera. Raised in a showbiz family (his father Marc is the producer of several Hollywood blockbusters, including ‘Legally Blonde' and ‘La La Land'), Platt was already performing at the Hollywood Bowl at age nine, starring in ‘The Music Man' alongside a young Kristin Chenoweth, and his teen years would see him cast in productions of ‘Les Misérables' and ‘Hair.' That musical-theater background would serve him well when he took the role of Benji Applebaum in the hit 2012 film ‘Pitch Perfect.' Platt's winning performance as the aspiring magician with an angelic voice earned him a nomination for Male Scene Stealer at the Teen Choice Awards. Later that year, he starred as Elder Arnold Cunningham in a Chicago production of the satirical musical ‘The Book of Mormon,' eventually reprising the role when the wildly popular play moved to Broadway in 2014. But Platt revealed his true range when he took the lead role in ‘Dear Evan Hansen,' a high school-set musical drama that became the toast of Broadway in 2016. Platt's rousing renditions of the play's tender, piano-based ballads would land him his first Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical the following year.
