Ben Platt Is VERY Ready to Return to NYC

James Corden welcomes his friend Ben Platt to Stage 56 and Ben is vaxxed up and ready to head back to New York City after spending quarantine in his Los Angeles childhood bedroom. And James asks Ben about his boyfriend, Noah, and how they're going to get a real shot at dating out in the real world. After they discuss making the film adaptation of "Dear Evan Hanson," Ben and James bounce around what show is going to bring Ben back on the live stage ("Amadeus" anyone??).

Yup

[@emilie8151]

Yeah, I noticed that he was a lot more calm than in other interviews

[@imakelonelinessworkforme9120]

Maybe it’s just my super emotional closeted self but hearing him be comfortable saying “because we are super gay” was so nice. Warms my heart that he’s now being his authentic self. God I love Ben 💖

isn't that a reference to the politician? I remember Platt's character saying something about everyone being in his orbit, I thought that line was very funny 😂

[@hillarypritchard9249]

I’m trying to imagine Ben Platt and Noah Galvin convinced that they were drugged and there’s aliens. Omg lol.
