Ben Platt's collection

"This is one of my favorite musicals, equal parts funny and tender, a remarkable score, I loved the original so deeply as a kid. This production was wonderful at the Kennedy Center (directed by Danny Mefford who was our choreographer on Dear Evan Hansen), and I’m so thrilled that it’s coming into the city. Particularly in the wake of the loss of its brilliant composer William Finn, this is sure to be hilarious and heartfelt, and I hope it sticks around for a long time. Volunteer to be a speller and find yourself in the show!"

"This is possibly the best revival I’ve seen in my adult life. I’ve seen pieces improved upon and reimagined, but never have I seen a revival that feels like it finally puts a finger on why the material exists. Set in the world of ballroom and co-directed by the amazing Bill Rauch, this Cats is unrecognizable. It’s packed full of wildly talented queer and trans performers, thrilling choreography, and unmitigated joy. It was my favorite thing I saw last year and now that it’s on Broadway."
