Ben Platt to have two-week Broadway concert run at refurbished Palace Theatre

The newly renovated Palace Theatre will welcome Ben Platt for a two-week run celebrating his latest album, Honeymind.

Platt’s two-week, 15-performance run will be from 28 May to 15 June. Michael Arden, who directed Platt in Parade last season, will stage the concert, which is expected to include songs from the new record (released 31 May), past albums Reverie and Sing to Me Instead, and “a few surprises for fans.”

Platt follows in the footsteps of Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, Diana Ross, Elvis Presley, Josephine Baker, and others, who’ve all performed concerts in the storied auditorium.

This residency is the first announced event for the newly renovated Palace, which closed in 2018 for a restoration that included raising the landmarked venue 30 feet in the air. However, the production is specifically not calling itself the reopening act, noting that there might be others prior to Platt taking the stage.
