Before he was Evan, Ben Platt was Tony—or at least he wanted to be.
The Tony Award-winning former star of “Dear Evan Hansen” took to Twitter to share a self-taped video he recorded (pre-Tony win), singing “Maria,” the signature forlorn ballad from “West Side Story.”
“Actors spend lots of time making tapes that never see the light of day—usually embarrassing, poorly-shot ones,” Platt wrote. “This one I liked...so I’m sharing it. I encourage fellow actors to do the same.”
