Biography
Ben Platt is a Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award-winning actor and singer who has been critically acclaimed for his starring role in the hit Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen, which garnered him a number of prestigious awards. He also played the role of "Elder Arnold Cunningham" in popular Broadway musical comedy Book of Mormon.
Ben reopened the legendary Palace Theater last May with a three-week solo residency, Ben Platt: Live at the Palace. The show played to sold out houses and had the highest weekly increase in attendance and second highest increase in gross of any running Broadway show at the time. Previously, he made his highly anticipated return to the New York Stage as Leo Frank in Parade at NY City Center, which transferred to Broadway. The musical opened to rave reviews and led to a Tony Award for Best Revival and Platt's second personal Tony Award nomination.
Ben produced, co-wrote and starred in the award-winning Sundance darling Theater Camp, which was released by Searchlight Pictures. An accomplished recording artist, Platt has released three albums - Sing to Me Instead, Reverie, and Honeymind. He completed three hugely successful solo tours following the release of each subsequent album, which saw him headlining sellout crowds at such important venues as The Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall. Platt won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his groundbreaking performance as Evan in Dear Evan Hansen, as well as the Drama League Award for Distinguished Performance (youngest recipient in history). He later reprised his role in the Universal Pictures film adaptation alongside Julianne Moore and Amy Adams. Ben starred in Ryan Murphy's popular Netflix series The Politician, where he served as the executive producer - his performance earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. Additionally, Platt began filming Merrily We Roll Along, an adaptation of the iconic Sondheim musical alongside Beanie Feldstein and Paul Mescal. The film will be shot over a 20-year period and is being directed by Richard Linklater. Other film and TV highlights include: Pitch Perfect 1 & 2, The People We Hate at the Wedding, Ricki & the Flash, and a guest appearance on Will & Grace.
