Get ready for a star-studded event as Ben Platt takes over the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles for a 10-night residency! This December, the Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award-winning artist will be gracing the stage with his captivating performances and a special surprise every night. But here's where it gets controversial... Who will be his special guests? Will it be a repeat of his Broadway residency with celebrity cameos, or will we see a completely different set of stars?
Platt's residency at the Ahmanson Theatre, titled 'Ben Platt: Live at the Ahmanson', will run from December 12th to 21st. It marks a homecoming for the Los Angeles-raised performer, who launched his theatrical career in the city with shows like 'Dead End' and 'Caroline, or Change'. The event will feature a star-studded set of special guests, performing some of Platt's greatest hits and timeless Broadway favorites.
While the identities of the special guests remain a mystery, we can expect a repeat of his Broadway residency, which featured the likes of Cynthia Erivo, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Hudson, Kacey Musgraves, Sam Smith, Micaela Diamond, and Shoshana Bean. But the Center Theatre Group (CTG) has hinted that there will be surprises every night, so we might see a completely different set of stars each evening.
'After blowing audiences away last year at The Palace on Broadway, we are thrilled to welcome Ben back to our own legendary venue, the Ahmanson Theatre,' said Snehal Desai, CTG's Brindell & Milton Gottlieb artistic director. 'When you think of the very best in musical theatre, it simply doesn't get any better than Ben Platt, whose stage presence and charisma make him one of the seminal performers of his generation. Plus, you never know who is going to join him on stage each night! It promises to be the holiday event of the season.'
Don't miss out on this extraordinary event! More information on the show and how to secure tickets can be found at the Center Theatre Group website. But be quick, as tickets are sure to sell out fast!
