Tony, Grammy, and Emmy winner Ben Platt completes his three-week concert residency at Broadway's refurbished Palace Theatre June 15. The concert was the first tenant for the historic theatre, which closed in 2018 to be lifted and make room for new retail space below. Platt gave the 18 performances in celebration of his third album, Honeymind.
The residency was directed by Tony winner Michael Arden, who directed Platt in his Tony-nominated performance as Leo Frank in the recent Broadway revival of Parade.
