Fans worldwide fell head over heels for Ben Platt during his Tony® Award-winning turn in the title role of Dear Evan Hansen and on-screen in films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise. As the vocalist, actor, and performer sang life into a host of nuanced and fascinating characters, audiences embraced his voice wholeheartedly. By dusting off the piano, picking up a pen, and singing his own truth straight from the heart, he shared another side of himself as a solo artist.
Ben achieved superstar status as Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen, originating the lead role. The New York Times lauded him as a “breakout star,” and he went on to receive the 2017 Tony® Award for “Best Actor in a Musical.” Other honors included “Best Musical Theater Album” at the 2018 GRAMMY® Awards for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, “Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program” at the Daytime EMMY® Awards for a cast performance of “You Will Be Found” on The Today Show, and more. Not to mention, he joined forces with Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda to craft a mash-up of “The Story of Tonight” and “You Will Be Found,” benefiting the “March for Our Lives” anti-gun violence movement.
Signed to Atlantic Records by Chairman and C.E.O. Craig Kallman and President of A&R Pete Ganbarg, he explored his formative influences, ranging from timeless singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King to legendary crooners like Donny Hathaway, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder. As a result, the music delivers confessional lyricism by way of soulful intimacy as part of one cohesive narrative on his 2019 full-length debut, Sing To Me Instead. The 12-track album, which was primarily produced by Jenn Decilveo, chronicles the highs and lows of a transformative relationship. Showcasing his story, Ben penned several songs solo and co-wrote the remainder of material alongside the likes of Ben Abraham, Eg White, Nate Cyphert, Michael Pollack, and more.

I fell in love with River during Episode 1 and this song cemented my love for him. It's so rare to connect and feel for a character so quickly but I did. Ben sings this song with the same love that David Corenswet/River looks at Ben/Payton with, a love I hope one day I will feel. Also, it sounds so nice to hear little, new bits that aren't from the series version.

Check out the performance of her & Brandi Carlyle (and others) at a recent festival - or any of so many others from her over the years so luckily easy to find on KZbin or elsewhere. I totally love Ben Pratt! He does a fantastic job, too. 😉🙏

It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on But it don't snow here It stays pretty green I'm going to make a lot of money Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on Oh, I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry He tried hard to help me You know, he put me at ease And he loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish, and I'm sad Now, I've gone and lost the best baby That I ever had Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on Oh, I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

There is something in Ben's voice that can make you feel very emotional. Joni's original version is a timeless classic but there's no denying that Ben's revival is definitely one of a kind.

It’s kinda weird how I honestly felt less emotional when I’ve first heard of this song on the first episode of ”the Politician” and now after hearing this again the moment I finished watching all of the episodes on that series, I finally understood everything. It has brought a lot of emotions to me, there’s sorrow, longing, and self-disappointment. Now, I felt this song more than I do before and damn, it hurts a lot!

This had a beautiful melody to it... “I could skate away on” is the most satisfying part for some reason? It feels like a punch to the gut, a melancholy feeling comes at that part. This was a crazy good show!! All the characters were likable. Rare.
