ON THE COVER:
BEN PLATT
Interscope artist Ben Platt first made headlines as a Broadway star, then as a film and TV performer—his shelf is already groaning with Tony, Grammy, Emmy, Obie and other awards. But with his new, Dave Cobb-produced album, Honeymind, Platt is exploring fresh musical territory, which he has described as “gay Americana.” The rootsy, tenderly honest set is already earning massive plaudits, and Platt is offering an intimate glimpse of the material during his current run at NYC’s Palace Theatre (the first six shows grossed more than $650K, by the way). Proudly featured in our Pride special issue, he probably wishes he could’ve hoofed his way out of this engagement.
