The story that seems to have more behind it is yours. I know we all need hobbies, but man, lay off and work on your own craft rather than concern-trolling and being a hot mess about Ben Platt.

Lizzie- have loved reading your posts on here for years. Respect your opinions but I think this one is off base. This is a Broadway message board. The Platt Matter is clearly a scandal and it involves a potentially stolen Tony Award! I'm pretty sure you'd agree that we can all work on our crafts *and* discuss the latest Broadway scandals of the day. This matter is a doozy worthy of discussion for sure!

Ben Platt had that glowing NYT profile in the middle of Tony Season. I am certain his Tony campaign was guided by the very powerful money man Marc Platt.

The New York Times also ran at least one high profile hit pieces on the Miss Saigon revival. Jon Jon Briones was robbed of a nomination and the award.

This thread is bringing on the laughs. I fully expect theaterguy to say Marc Platt arranged for the brexit vote to defeat possible competition from the west end so he could pull off this huge Tony heist.

I wouldn't put it past him honestly. He managed to take out Jake G and Jon Jon B. His tensest moments must have been when Andy Karl won the Olivier and then had that headline grabbing injury. The plan almost unraveled there for sure.

And convinced his friend Scott Rudin to pull out Groundhog Day to sink its Broadway chances.

Ooooh! That's probably right. I know you're saying it in jest but I think you are onto something here. Rudin and Marc Platt clearly are allies in this matter.

So who's Seth Abramson? We need a Sarah Kendzior too.

BREAKING NEWS. I've done some detective work and have discovered that Ben Platt and theaterguy11 went to high school together in CA and that they were a hot and heavy item, but in the fall of their senior year Ben dumped him, and it wasn't pretty. And to make matters worse, a few weeks later, Platt beat him out for the lead in the school play, and theaterguy11 was both crushed and enraged. He went on a rant claiming that the only reason that Platt got the part was because of his father.

This is outrageously fake news. I'm way older than Ben, grew up in NorCal and Ben is straight. The man may be an untalented hack and Tony award stealer but lets not start spreading false lies about his sexuality.

Ben Platt us not married to a person of either sex. Thanks for using my tongue in cheek post to demonstrate what a complete and utter buffoon you are

If I thought he was talented I wouldn't care that much...although a father buying his kid a Tony is a pretty big scandal no?

I had another thought- perhaps Marc Platt was involved in the decision for Sunday In The Park to withdraw from consideration. I'd like to think Jake G would have won the Tony had he been eligible for nomination."

whether or not you agree is immaterial to the fact that he has a gorgeous singing voice. get your ears checked.
