Ben Platt Sing To Me Instead Coming to Boch Center Wang Theatre May 8
Tickets On Sale Friday, February 22 at 10:00AM
Boston, MA (February 14, 2019) – The Boch Center and The Bowery Presents announced that Ben Platt will stop at the Boch Center Wang Theatre on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 at 7:30PM in support of his debut solo record, Sing To Me Intsead. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, February 22 at 10:00AM.
The winner of the 2017 Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical for his performance as Evan Hansen in the smash hit, Dear Evan Hansen, Ben Platt is one of today’s most extraordinary talents – a truly multi-faceted actor, singer, and all-around performer. Sing to Me Instead sees him making a remarkable arrival as recording artist and songwriter, co-writing all of the album’s songs. Tracks like “Bad Habit” and “Ease My Mind” reveal a striking, deeply emotive amalgam of classic popcraft with sweeping vocals and Platt’s own undeniable charm and versatility.
Sing to Me Instead marks Platt’s first recorded output since his stunning duet with Lin-Manuel Miranda in March 2018 on “Found/Tonight.” The track – which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart – was an installment in Miranda’s ‘Hamildrop’ series, and featured vocals from both men in an original medley of “The Story of Tonight” from Hamilton and “You Will Be Found” from Dear Evan Hansen. Prior to “Found/Tonight,” Platt appeared as a lead vocalist on Dear Evan Hansen (Original Broadway Cast Recording), Atlantic Records’ Grammy® Award-winning companion to the Tony® Award-winning musical.
