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!

The Real Deal
Ben Platt's first Canadian appearance (and only the 3rd time he's performed this show) was, to put it mildly, the real deal. Structured with the care, artistry and precision of a Broadway production, he assembled top talent in all fields. The set itself, fairly simple in design but remarkably effective, and brilliantly lit throughout, provided a sense of intimacy not easy to achieve in such a vast auditorium. A group of 9 (or ten?) musicians and back-up-singers provided the perfect foundation for Ben's talent to shine. And boy, did it. Singing mostly songs he has written himself about love, relationships, loss and personal growth, he interspersed these with intimate and quite often funny stories of his life ("I came out when I was 12" he proclaimed loudly. Confident in his voice, secure in his humanity, he was as open, unaffected and gifted a performer as one is likely to see. This show is his declaration that he is an artist and a star to be reckoned with. And he is! ... 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
