Tony®, GRAMMY®, and Emmy® winner Ben Platt wrapped up his monumental 18-date run, playing to nearly 25,000 fans at Broadway’s newly refurbished Palace Theatre (West 47th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues) this past weekend with spectacular performances that featured songs from all three of his albums, plus other Broadway and Folk classics, and star studded special guests. GRAMMY® winner Kacey Musgraves kicked things off on opening night with a multitude of special guests from stage, screen and music joining Ben on stage at the iconic theatre – Kristin ChenowethLeslie Odom Jr., fiancé Noah GalvinKristin BellCynthia ErivoMeghan TrainorJennifer Hudson, and Sam Smith to name a few. The residency, directed by Tony Award winner Michael Arden who collaborated with Platt on the 2023 Tony Award-winning revival of Parade which also earned Platt a Tony nomination, was a box office sensation selling out nightly eager to see the star’s historic run at one of Broadway’s most iconic venues. 

 

Time Out New York said, “Ben Platt defines the word ‘entertainer’ and his concert feels like a celebration of the power of entertainment. It’s not just his phenomenal vocals or his storytelling abilities that capture the audience’s attention. And although his funny jokes certainly add character to the experience, the residency is about more than a great voice and heartfelt laughter. Every movement that Platt makes—from his unabashed dancing to his facial expressions—makes you feel like you’re at a show: all your senses are titillated. You want to dance along but also sit down, close your eyes and just listen. It’s not Broadway … but it is.” 

 

Tonight, Platt takes the show on the road with The Honeymind Tour. The tour kicks off in Boston, MA and makes stops at marquee venues including the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, CA, two nights at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN, and two nights at Massey Hall in Toronto, ON.  Brandy Clark, GRAMMY® winner and songwriter for the Tony®-winning Broadway musical Shucked, will support on all dates and be on the lookout for possible special guests at select shows. Tickets and VIP meet & greet packages for The Honeymind Tour are available now at benplattmusic.com.  

 

On taking the tour on the road Platt commented: “I am still floating from the beautiful experience that was these last three weeks reopening The Palace. This residency was a most precious dream come true to begin with, but the support and love from audiences and my special guests somehow exceeded my wildest expectations. I can only hope I did Judy, Liza, and all of the artists that came before me proud. I can’t wait to set off on tour and continue sharing the Honeymind music with this incredible band all over the country on tour. I am particularly excited and grateful to have my collaborator Brandy Clark along for the ride, an extraordinary artist and person. “

 

Platt released his third studio album Honeymind on May 31st. Platt has previously revealed how Honeymind, which boasts contributions from 9x GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton) and country songwriting greats Hillary Lindsey and Natalie Hemby, got its name from a stroll with his partner. "I looked up at the ceiling of treetops, hundreds of rays of golden light were pouring through all the tiny gaps in the leaves like a shimmering pattern," he says. "I thought about how to describe to him that I was just so happy to be in love with him." Ultimately, he settled on blissful-sounding "Honeymind." Billboard Magazine said of the album, “Platt knows what he is devoted to in this gorgeous new LP,” and OUT Magazine describes Honeymind as ““a sensual dreamscape influenced by ’60s and ’70s folk and Americana music”

 

While working on his album since 2022, Platt has also kept busy with other rewarding projects. Just last year, he starred in the film Theater Camp, which he also produced and co-wrote. The film, as well as his upcoming new album, continue a storied career packed with unforgettable performances (Dear Evan HansonPitch PerfectParade, and more) and critically lauded releases.
