Ben Platt is reflecting on his experience.
The 29-year-old singer and actor opened up in a new interview about the release of the film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen, and the resulting Internet backlash and criticism of the film.
The adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway show was met with some mocking and criticism on social media because of Ben taking on the role of a senior in high school, despite the significant age gap between the character and the actor.
Here’s how he responded…
Angelina Jolie was in Philly this weekend and she took her daughter Vivienne to see a performance of the Dear Evan Hansen national tour!
The Oscar-winning actress and her 14-year-old daughter visited the cast backstage after the performance on Saturday (August 20) at the Forrest Theatre in Philadelphia, Penn.
A source told People that the mother-daughter duo saw the show in Los Angeles recently and “loved the show so much” so they went to Philly “just to see it again.”
