Ben Platt and Noah Galvin are Dating?

MARY!!

Ben looks like a Frankenstein here

Ben is ugly af.

So I’m assuming Noah is Ben’s understudy in the bedroom?

Anything to finally be the pretty one, huh.

Galvin's nudes weren't bad.

Holy five head.

Colto

[quote]Will all the Evan Hansons be dating each other eventually?

That would be utterly freaky if that happened - especially if several of them dated several of them over time before finally settling with a specific one.

Verificatia of combined sizemeat?

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Where’s the top?!

Frankenstein's Monsta

[Quote] Where’s the top?!

On speed dial.

Who are these people?

Platt gets more and more grotesque the longer you stare at him.

[quote]Verificatia of combined sizemeat?

Not sure if it would break double digits.

So gross. Yuck!

Will we be subjected to a duets album?

R19: Maybe it’s all PR

Noah looks better in that pic than most I’ve seen of him. Ben looks a mess.

Well Gary Clayton has the last laugh.

Noah is the better looking one of the two.

Q: You know what two bottoms can do in bed together?

A: NOT A GODDAMNED THING

No loss, Madden was never going to date either of them. But he still might go after the current one who got the part right after graduating from high school.

I know this is DL but I think you’re being a bit harsh about Ben’s looks! I mean sure he’s not traditionally handsome but I think he’s cute enough. I’d definitely fuck him. Or am I just a whore?

i wonder if his daddy set this up (like his career)

....eeww...

Aren't the current (pre-shutdown) Evan Hansens ethnic? That's not Madden's MO.

Something tells me we're not going to have multiple threads on this pair.

Wishing them the best.

Clayto

Are they Jews?

Other Evans now dating

People.com:

[quote] They're not the only former Evans to date — Taylor Trensch and Ben Levi Ross are also together now.

You can go on Grindr, you can try on Match.com, or you can star in "Dear Evan Hansen."

R26 Ben’s grandmother.

Quite a hairy couple.

The guy on the left looks like a young Andy Cohen.

I could see them fighting over the blowdryer and mascara every morning.

If Ben’s eyes were set much closer together he’d look like Cyclops. Ok, I’ll stop now.

Can Ben keep up with Noah's cuntiness, though?

Sometimes, being a bitch is all a woman has to hang onto.

Ben and Taylor make a cute couple.

It is INFURIATING that these two get to quarantine together when DL’s favorite twink couple Connor Jessup and Miles Heizer are being kept apart by the US-Canada border shutdown!

You’re a whore r26, he’s fug.

Can you imagine going to a dinner party with these two? I think I’d stab myself in the eyes and ears before dessert was served.

This couple is a Jewish mother’s dream.

Call it a hunch but I think the guy who came up with OP's pic isn't very fond of Ben Platt.

R46 I beg to differ, neither is a doctor.

Taylor Trensch is ugly as fuck. He must be super hung. He also dated super cute Max Crumm.

Wonder if any of the Annies dated each other...

Scary coupling...

Who gets top billing?

I thought with Corona perhaps it was one of the signs of the pending apocalypse, but now this confirms it.

Noah's nude had an emphasis on his ass and hole, so I'm assuming he's the bottom, but vers guys do exist.

I can’t breathe from laughing

How come the only young couple DL likes is Connor and Miles?

Miles says nothing. (And posts fuck all.) DL appreciates that.

There is no way these two are each others types. This smells of “We’re horny and stuck in quarantine together, let’s give it a go.”

Oh god, I’m putting it in writing now, there will be a gender swap production of Side Show in their future.

We're both the Mary!

Ben was adorable in Pitch Perfect. I guess he looks better in motion.

This will end in tears.

R54 When did Noah’s nudes get leaked?

Wonder how many couples will split post-lockdown

I'd put money on Colton and his pussy going separate ways.

Colto

[quote] “I asked him this morning, I was like, are we allowed to talk about this? And he’s like, ‘Don’t go into our nitty gritty, but yeah, people can know.’

‘Don’t go into our nitty gritty’? It sounds like Ben didn’t want anyone to know about this.

Noah's out there on the internet fingering himself. I can see why Ben would be reticent.

Not sure if this is true but someone told me recently that Mr. Platt senior has historically been known to like the dick...

Damn, that's a twin-pack of homely right there!

Honestly, I'd rather have Ben's hotter straight brother Jonah

Honestly, I'd rather have Ben's hotter straight brother Jonah

Are their periods in sync yet?

R71/R72, you bitches are apparently gonna have to scrap for him.

[quote]Can you imagine going to a dinner party with these two? I think I’d stab myself in the eyes and ears before dessert was served.

If I'm at a dinner party with Galvin in attendance I'm pretty sure it's not myself I'll be stabbing!

[Quote] Can you imagine going to a dinner party with these two?

I can lol

Look up Smelling Cookies and you will see Noah

How presumptuous of them to think that anyone cared if they were dating.

Ben Platt looked great in the Sondheim anniversary concert, I didn’t know who he was, blond and Blue-eyed...in The Politician not so much.

"How presumptuous of them to think that anyone cared if they were dating."

How presumptuous of those commenting on their dating to believe that it's any of their business.

R79 It was a career best, coming when the rest of us look like shit. He also did what ever a duet is called with three people and sang with his brothers too.

that had to be his hairy ass getting fucked by the black guy

Ha then the thread stops. Must have been him and they are posting on here!

[quote] Honestly, I'd rather have Ben's hotter straight brother Jonah

Nice. He reminds me of Chris Evans.

I picture them singing in bed “But if baby you’re the bottom, I’m the top! “

When uglies mate

Homely gals need love too.

Noah's nudes, including presentation of hole — which involve him double-fingering himself:

R88 Was this his calling card to snatch Ben?

Does he pretend to be a top for Ben so Daddy will get him into Wicked??

R88 wow that was a lot of body hair.

Maybe it's because of DL, but I found a whole new level of appreciation for guys presenting hole. Thank you for sharing Noah's pics, r88. I like them very much. Ben's a lucky guy.

R89 Let’s face it the only roles in Wicked that would be suitable for these two are as flying monkeys. Six months before filming they will need to stop any shaving, waxing or electrolysis and give up on manscaping for awhile, but will be good to go and skip hours in makeup.

Here they are.

They are both unattractive.

Noah’s nudes are actually not bad. He doesn’t have an amazing body or anything but he has a nice dick and a cute hairy hole. He could probably snag someone hotter than Ben.

I am the only one who doesn’t get Ben Platt? I don’t think his voice is that strong and after watching The Politician, I really don’t need to see him acting ever again.

Noah is way more attractive. He could have done a heck of a lot better.

R97 No, Ben sucks. He’s not untalented, but the level of fame he’s reached would absolutely never happen without nepotism. There’s just nothing about him that’s in any way special, and he has a face only a mother could love. He’s extremely lucky to be born rich.

They're both bottoms so how does this work?

R100, one orders in.

Has anyone straight ever played Evan?

R100 They call up Xavier Dolan to help out.

I think the first London Evan Hansen, Sam Tutty, is straight. He's really cute, so if he's actually gay he's a welcome addition to the team.

Didn't you expect them to kiss with tongue?

Feldman is definitely crushing big time on Tutty in that video.

Ben was adorable on the Sondheim 90th birthday tribute.

R104 yes he is cute! But... I’m getting a little “ping”

They both whine so they are perfect for each other.

Was Ben Platt the best Evan performer? I'm not really into musicals but I was somehow still aware that Ben exists and that he played Evan. I don't know any of the actors from r105 's post or that Noah was playing that role as well. What was Ben doing differently that he got so much attention?

Ben originated the role. Replacements don't get the same attention.

Interesting professional career fact for Ben Platt.

His Dear Evan Hansen performance, this one role, did this for him-

[quote] Because of his role in Dear Evan Hansen and his performances on its cast album and on TV appearances, he's three-fourths of the way to an EGOT: he has his individual Tony, shares (as a lead vocalist) in the Grammy won by the Dear Evan Hansen cast album, and shares in the Emmy won by the cast for their live performance on Today in 2017.

R112, I will destroy Miss Ben if she gets to EGOT before I do.

R112 Ben will be the least deserving EGOT in history if he somehow gets Daddy to buy him an Oscar.

R114: You know Daddy is going buy him that Oscar.

A remake of Harold and Maude perhaps?

I read this as "Brad Pitt."

I liked Feldman's performance. He was the only one who was age and " nerd" appropriate.

You should never date within your clique. What’s going to happen if they break up? Who gets custody of Beanie Feldstein?!

Excuse me, but how does one go about "buying" an Oscar? (Asking for a friend.)

Noah has a cute little body and nice ass and you can tell that hole has gotten A LOT of attention.

R121, I’ll have you know I’m a virgin, sir!

So we've seen Noah's dick have we seen Ben's?

I think he's circumcised.

This is one of Ben's best filmed moments. He's looks good and sings even better. (He's performing in character.)

Ben's father is a billionaire, which automatically makes him a "10" in the looks department.

Marc Platt, the producer, is a billionaire? R126

R118, I liked Feldman too but Taylor Trensch nailed the nerd factor as well, and he reads younger than he is.

Ben’s dad isn’t a billionaire but he DID buy Ben a $2 million Upper West Side condo for his 24th birthday.

Didn't Galvin only play the role for a few months before Trensch took over?

R108, Tutty has a long-term GF according to his Wikipedia page.

I think Daddy Platt is a billionaire, or close to it. Think about the hundreds of millions he made just from Wicked.

woof platt is fugly

I thought he was at least 35

I thought he looked cute enough on Will and Grace but he looked plug ugly on The Politician.

Noah isn’t from a big Hollywood family but his mother is a pretty famous yoga teacher in NYC with a lot of celebrity clients. She owns a yoga studio in the east village.

Two total bottoms....it won't last.

That's a bit suss.

Galvin revealed himself to be a snippy little cunt in that interview, so I can't imagine him being someone you'd want as a boyfriend.

R138 He shouldn’t have made fun of Colton’s coming out process - that was cunty - but he was brave as fuck to openly talk about the sexual assault accusations against Bryan Singer. He probably derailed his career by doing so, but good for him.

They deserve each other.

Ben Platt is a 20something playing a balding teenager on that Ryan Murphy show. It's ridiculous.

Platt’s older brother is hot and he is butt ugly.

Does the brother have a 2 million condo too?

Why did they give Ben Platt the main role on that Ryan Murphy show? He's playing a closeted teenager when it looks like he's at least 35, not to mention the fact that you can see he's gay from space. It's just not believable that he plays someone who's into pussy when it's so obvious Platt himself has not been near one since he was born.

Because he has a Tony.

R144 you answered yor own question! Murphy, the man makes crap tv and crap casting decisions!

Didn't Ben's nudes leak, too, or was that just something I made up?

[quote]Excuse me, but how does one go about "buying" an Oscar? (Asking for a friend.)

That question should be directed to Harvey Weinstein.

[quote] He's playing a closeted teenager when it looks like he's at least 35,

The show is done with the high school years. At the end of this season, he and the other kids are now (young) adults and he's running for office.

Giving Emmys out for coming in to promote your fucking Broadway musical and singing on some morning chat show is one of the most ridiculous awards I've ever heard of. Because of this, Cynthia Erivo is also 3/4 of the way to an EGOT.

Cynthia Erivo could actually win an Oscar without nepotism though.

Oh for sure. But she also shouldn't have an Emmy.

If Lena Waithe writes a script for her that leads to an Oscar, is that nepotism?

No one cares.

[quote]What was Ben doing differently that he got so much attention?

His daddy hired a publicist. And Ben himself acted like he was playing Hamlet each night. God knows how he'd handle an actually challenging role.

[quote]Didn't Galvin only play the role for a few months before Trensch took over?

Yep. There was some talk he'd do the tour but that never happened and Mrs Trensch got it instead.

Noah seems to like uglying himself up. He's had badly dyed hair in the past, a terrible moustache, plus his personality. And now his boyfriend.

[quote]Didn't Ben's nudes leak, too, or was that just something I made up?

They did but he had them yanked RIGHT down.

(And from what I recall there one of him standing there with his face and his hard dick.)

R156 How did he get his nudes taken down immediately while shots of Noah fingering himself has been scattered all over the internet? Daddy’s lawyer?

R157, From what I remember of that weekend the leaks were coming out almost non-stop. The thread became insanely popular because it was already full of Broadway boys who told their friends, who told their friends who immediately logged on to LPSG. So by the time people showed up with higher profile leaks the thread was already being watched heavily. People with better representation like Andrew Rannells, Ben Platt and Billy Porter (yes, I know disturbing) had their nudes pulled quickly.

For those who didn't, the longer they stayed up the more time people had to save them to repost them. That was when the site owner made a public Do Not Post list so people knew who had contacted him and told him they wanted off the damn site.

One long time poster (who implied he was Gavin Creel for years in the Broadway threads ... and then deleted his account after) said that everyone knew about the the thread once chunks of people started disappearing and that they had for a while. To this day many minor actors monitor that thread.

There's also the chance Noah likes having his nudes out there. His Grindr profile didn't try to hide who he was at all - in fact much the opposite it's like he wanted to be recognised in case there were any star-fuckers viewing him.

R158 Funnily enough I think I'm right in saying Creel's pics have never leaked, hmmm.

Noah dick

Hairy hole that Ben licks and pounds?

R117 that would have been amazing.

R159, The main purpose of the thread wasn't leaks back then. It was mostly gossip and photos actors posted on instagram. The leaks thing was weird, I'm not a fan of that. It just came out of nowhere.

You are right, they have never. That being said, the funny thing about that poster is that whenever anyone would ask if they had seen Gavin or had Gavin, that poster would always say they'd NEVER see Gavin. He'd appear out of nowhere just to say it. Otherwise he stuck to gossip.

After over a year of this, someone asked again. He responded that they didn't exist and then that same person finally asked HOW did he know pictures didn't exist since he was always saying they didn't every single time someone said Creel's name. I think his response was something simple like a smiley face as he said again, he was sure he'd never see anything like that.

He deleted after the leak weekend but not before warning everyone that everyone knew about the thread. He was a nice poster though, whoever he was. He really knew his shit.

Thanks to the photo sharer I hope you have more stored.

Dang. Seemed to have missed some amazing DL drama by not keeping up with the Broadway threads.

[Quote] Dang. Seemed to have missed some amazing DL drama by not keeping up with the Broadway threads.

LPSG Broadway thread, not DL.

I never thought I'd say this about any man, but based on OP's pic, Platt should consider bangs. Anything to lessen the impact of that conehead.

Ben Platt is only 26??!!

Ben did look amazing in the virtual Bway benefit, hosted by Rose ODonnell. He must have had some special lighting

[Quote] No, Ben sucks. He’s not untalented, but the level of fame he’s reached would absolutely never happen without nepotism

To be honest, he’s not that famous

[Quote] He’s not untalented, but the level of fame he’s reached would absolutely never happen without nepotism

Is celebrity a meritocracy, in general?

R167 Only if the bangs cover his hideously freaky close set beady rat eyes.

I loved her on OZ but she can be quite tacky and amateurish.

Great clip R173 but why this thread?

R168 I know. He looks much older because he's already balding.

R161: He actually has a nice ass.

[quote] Platt should consider bangs.

We're working on it.

Noah has nothing to be ashamed about with those nudes. I would leave them up too.

There's no face or birthmarks, so no reason for Noah to pursue their deletion.

I don't know enough about Ben Platt besides Will & Grace. I just watched a few of his singing videos on YouTube, he's pretty good, I'd say better than most of the pop singers of today, and judging from the comments he seems to have a decent fan base who find him quite attractive. I don't get the hatred here, maybe you Broadway fraus should find a hobby... or a mirror. Guarantee most of you look like dogshit.

^^Ben has found this thread.

R179: I agree. He's got a really nice ass.

Ben will participate in the graduation program that all the networks are airing tonight with Obama. He's obviously looking to score some twink cock.

Ben has a Netflix special coming in a few days

What is the Peter Allen is he wearing?

R184, his outfit is distractingly awful.

*What in the Peter Allen is he wearing?

Wow, no one aside from a few theater queens know who he is. Netflix is obviously really desperate for content. I can think of about a hundred people I'd rather see a concert from, but none of them have an influential family like him.

If Bernadette Peters can get a "live in concert" TV special in 1980, Benjamin Chaim Platt can get one in 2020.

that puckered rosebud! waiting...perfect for tonguing...mmmmm

So you’re saying Ben is... a top?

The Brothers Platt

Is Henry adopted? He looks like he should be in leiderhosen.

Can he not sing without closing his eyes?

Do they all have the same mother and father because damn the younger ones fell out of the fugly tree.

The "hot" brother isn't all that. He looks like a poor man's OJC.

Yeah Jonah is ageing out of his looks fast.

Did they break lockdown to record that, or is Noah actually staying with the whole Platt family?

R193 He looks more like a Platt in other photos

At least they are not dating out of their league. But I think they would dump each other in a gay second if someone hotter gives them the time of day.

[quote]What is the Peter Allen is he wearing?

Don Knotts' Mr. Furley wardrobe from [italic]Three's Company,[/italic] by the look of it.

Somehow I missed that there was a fat whore brother ...

Somehow I missed that there was a fat whore brother

Somehow I missed that there was a fat whore brother

How many fucking times did you miss it?

Jonah sings with The Skivvies.

Are they sad that they have been overshadowed as the most interesting new gay quarantine couple since they have been replaced by Madden and Froy?

Jonah is much more attractive than his brother. Nice body, too.

DL uplifting the str8s as per usual...

Ben was fine as Evan Hansen, but here is the definitive interpretation of a clumsy high school kid, struggling to survive the pressures of growing up.

You just know that Noah's ass always stinks of shit, always.

Noah’s ass def needs a shaving and bleaching ... foul looking hole ...

Are you even a celebrity if your hole hasn't been judged by the DataLounge?

R210 & R211 = Colton

R210 Does our dear Ben like shitty ass?

Noah lived near me when he had his sitcom. he would frequently be on grindr about 1100 ft away late at night. And his profile was non-discreet.

R215 Can you confirm that he is a bottom?

Pretty sure it said bottom or vers btm.

R216 How much more confirmation do you need besides two fingers jammed into that hairy mudpit?!?! 🤣

R217 So did you hit that hole @ r161 ?

R218 It’s hard to imagine our dear Ben topping anyone.

R219 no

R220 Ben always talks about how he’s obsessed with twinks, so I wouldn’t have a problem buying him as a top.

Sorry Ben. Daytime doesn’t count.

That is fantastic news. But they also should make it only a Prime Time Emmy counting for EGOT status.

No one counts Daytime Emmys for EGOTs

Yes they do. Whoopi's Emmy was for Daytime and she's considered an EGOT.

[quote]And his profile was non-discreet.

Headline of N.E.G, profile saying it was both his status and his initials. Face pic and link to his Instagram, so yeah he wasn't bothered about being recognised - he probably wanted to be in case any star-fuckers were online.

R227 Hey other neighbor?

R227 delivers with the details!

whoooo bossy hungry bottom!

Any dick pics of Ben? maybe he makes up for his face by having a nice big dick?

May 20th Ben Platt Live from Radio City Music Hall on Netflix

R232 Did Ryan Murphy some how wrangle this and is calling it one of his projects that he can check off from his million dollar deal with Netflix?

So Ben was on the Today Show and said he’s quarantining with his brothers, not Noah. Did they break up already?

Now we know what that ratty thing on Ben's upper lip is. It's Noah's ass hair.

Are all three brothers gangbanging Noah? I get that he’s insatiable and maybe a fan of that classic Rockland brothers scene, I can see him bitchily wanting to direct them all.

Noah just posted an IG story supporting his man.

Ben is live on Insta right now.

He just mentioned Noah.

R234 Noah and Kathryn Gallagher were definitely staying with Ben, that's on social media. So either they're all staying with the Platts, or Ben's lying because he doesn't want criticism for breaking lockdown just to sing with his brothers.

R240 Are they all in LA? Ben is clearly in LA.

R241 No idea where they are, all I know is during the early parts of the lockdown they were putting up stories with the three of them together

R234 Noah is still with Ben, so Ben must have broken quarantine for the content.

Are they perpetually trying to out do each other?

Do NOT invite that couple to a dinner party it WILL be as insufferable as you THINK!

R243 From what he said there Noah is staying with Ben and his family. I'd rather risk Covid personally.

EW! Platt has a Netflix concert out right now?! I mean, good for him I guess, but why subject us to that experience? And in those pants? Anyway, if one of you bitches saw it (AND I KNOW ONE OF YOU DID) get back to me pleeeeeease!

Watching it right now. Typical for a concert special where he'll sing a song and then tell a story after before going into another song.

He did mention that he's a total Charlotte from Sex and the City, where when he goes on a date with anyone and it goes well, he basically plans out the rest of their lives together

So I guess we should expect a wedding announcement soon.

R247 Noah is no dummy. He’s trying to get that Platt money.

Ben better secure that pre-nup!

R247 When you look like that I suppose you have to sink your claws in wherever possible

Does Ben have a line of exes, like a lesbian?

R250 I don’t know, but Galvin strikes me as the type to bring a U-Haul on a second date.

Who saw Booksmart? Who saw The Politician?

I'm [italic]convinced[/italic] that those roles are the CLOSEST in character to these actors' true personalities. In Booksmart, Noah's an insufferably dramatic, narcissistic mess who's ultimately harmless. His anger stems from his lack of social status, but it's the gay plight.

In The Politician, Platt's an insecure, conniving rich boy who'll do WHATEVER IT TAKES to win.

I can't even imagine what conversations between the two would be like. I already want to leave the room.

Platt's vibrato is out of control on the Netflix special, and it's mostly his middle of the road pop songs rather than musical theatre

[quote]Noah's an insufferably dramatic, narcissistic mess

No doubt Ben sees himself in Noah. Metaphorically, obviously, because I doubt physically is happening.

Noah doesn’t seem like Ben’s type at all. This is such a strange coupling.

When have we ever had a Netflix special built around such a non-entity? I'd rather see Jeremy Jordan or Ramin Karimloo, but I guess their dads don't have the scratch to make it happen.

R256 Those were two names I had in mind - even Aaron Tveit. The Live from Lincoln centre concerts and 54 Below albums from other Broadway actors are much more engaging than this Radio City special.

Jonathan Groff deserves a Netflix special far more than Ben does.

Does Groff have a rich father? If not, no special.

There must surely be venom amongst Broadway people at how far nepotism is pushing this guy

R260 I would say that would be more reserved for Jonah being given a part in Wicked, I don’t think Ben’s family had anything to do with the production of Evan Hanson. And then Broadway.com gave him a very insufferable blog about the show years into the production, I bet the whole cast hated him. Any one have stories?

[quote] I'd rather see Jeremy Jordan or Ramin Karimloo

R259 got it right. The Platts have been foisted upon us by their ultra powerful father. You need to look at his producing credits. His hands have been in every pot from TV, to film, to the Great White Way.

Ben was cute ONCE in the FIRST Pitch Perfect. Since then he's been acting as if the world's his bar mitvah. AND IT MIGHT BE! His father didn't need to produce Dear Evan Hansen. That'd be uncouth. That's a character that Pasek and Paul were working on WITH Platt. By then Platt had already had a reputation, and was merely looking for the proper vehicle. DEH was IT, and he was lucky enough to ride that wave to The Politician, but he's going to be stuck in Murphy's Tiger Beat cabal.

They're all starting to look like his collectibles, huh? I wonder if he pits them against each other from time to time, just to keep things interesting.

Anyway, rest assured that Noah wants what Ben's got, but it's fucking WEIRD because they've played the same role on Broadway, doesn't that seem mentally/emotionally incestuous/narcissistic?

Another pair of Evans were dating as well. That fucking... gay vegan. He's hilarious. Taylor Trensch! He was doing Evan on Broadway while dating the touring Evan.

Broadway's too interconnected.

On R261!!!

So Jonah's awful. Truly awful. Could be hot. Maybe he is. But his vlogs were the worst out of all those Wicked cast vlogs. He has no personality, and you can tell he's just been propped up his whole life because his father's well connected. But he doesn't have a tenth of his brother's talent, despite the Jew jock vibe, which is HOT, but this dude's such a charisma suck that it's not worth spending time with him.

There've been hotter Fiyeros as well.

I don't think Jonah's done anything since those vlogs, but I wanted to address them because at the end of one of the episodes, his friends/family come visit his dressing room, including his brother and his lovely bestie BEANIE FELDSTEIN!

Beanie is ALSO part of this well connected crew, and you can see how she (and her older brother) just moseyed their way into some prestige titles!

Beanie's playing Monica Lewinsky in Murphy's upcoming Emmy bait!

I'm not joking when I say that Ben and Beanie have been expecting their career status their entire lives. They both had industry parents and have just been biding their time.

Now? They'll be unstoppable. Beanie will win an Emmy for playing Monica, because Monica WILL BE part of that press circuit the way Marcia was for Sarah Paulson's win.

Ben Platt, however, isn't as talented as Beanie, nor as likeable. This will cause tension in the future when Beanie's nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Ben will never reach such heights, and it's possible that with his campy little concert, he's peaked.

R261 Thanks for coming and sitting by me! Yes, Jonah is a charisma black hole for sure, though pretty in an expiration date due kind of way. I didn’t realize that Beanie’s parents were in the industry too. Their friendship and it’s eventual demise might make an epic story for the stage or screen in fifty years, for that generations Stephen Sondheim.

>Their friendship and it’s eventual demise might make an epic story for the stage or screen in fifty years, for that generations Stephen Sondheim.

It'll be the next season of Feud.

Hopefully Ben and Beanie will remain friends for at least the next 20 years, because they're going to be working together a lot

I wonder how they feel about having to share top billing with a man accused of repeatedly bashing his wife’s head into a wall, R266.

[quote]but it's fucking WEIRD because they've played the same role on Broadway

But Noah was basically just to fill the gap between Platt leaving and Taylor finishing at Hello Dolly.

[quite]Another pair of Evans were dating as well

Still are. With a ten year age gap, which is at least a hilarious example of the weirdness of casting teenage roles on Broadway.

[quote]Beanie is ALSO part of this well connected crew, and you can see how she (and her older brother) just moseyed their way into some prestige titles!

The fact she and Platt are doing that Merrily We Roll Along film...well I just hope it never happens.

Ben Platt Has a Question from His 'Friends' Trivia Night for James Corden

[quote]And Ben gives James a test question from one of his legendary trivia nights

I hate just about everything in that sentence.

R266 I don’t get how that and the earlier Boyhood could get insured? The likelihood that someone In the cast is going to die in that time span and scrap the whole project seems like asking fate to intervene for the worst.

Boyhood they made in fucking secret or some shit. Also, Linklater made it on the cheap over the coarse of all those years. I'm sure he foresaw narrative contingencies, but that's art. Worked out for him.

Merrily's too ambitious. Also, I question any pre-COVID production news. I'm sure many creatives have reorganized their schedules by now. Merrily, like everything else, will have to wait.

R269 HE'S NOT CUTE!

Notice?! I hate this shit. He's such an obvious nepotism case. He's so pleased with himself. That he's doing anything with Corden is like... why? Aren't we suffering enough?

Ugh, does Broadway.com kiss up to Daddy Platt or are they on his payroll? For Ben “The love was almost to much for Platt to handle.” Double ugh!

I could see Ben playing lead Ewok in some future Star Wars project.

R273 Their main repeat audience is basically theatre kids, who also make up the majority of the DEH fangirls, and therefore Platt's audience

Yeah, I've been watching Broadway.com for years. They suck up. They're basically a PR extension of the industry. They also overcharge for tickets through their site. Their new set was designed by a Broadway art director. Broadway likely depends on their coverage, and they've got a slicker presentation than Playbill.

It's a niche art form. The kids are taking over though. Ben must feel like he's the millennial star of Broadway, and he just might be.

So what are Ben’s best hopes for on Broadway in the future? A revival of Pricilla while he’s young enough for the non trans parts, the lead in La Cage in his later years, Uncle Max in the Sound of Music, maybe an Assassin, perhaps the one NPH played? Let’s hope to god he never eyes Hedwig!

He probably thinks theatre is beneath him now

[quote]He probably thinks theatre is beneath him now

I'm a [italic]streaming[/italic] star now!

Platt's peaked. He's lucky he's gotten this far. He should thank as many Gods as he can for that Tony, and at this point? That friendship with Beanie.

Beanie's potential is unlimited. Whether you like her or not, she's going to dominate. She knows this, but most importantly Platt knows that.

That's what you wanna watch from now on.

Also, Noah and Beanie were IN BOOKSMART TOGETHER! So... whether that means anything who knows, but they're all well acquainted, and have been for some time.

Broadway Bitch, signing out.

Ryan Murphy suggesting he wants to reboot Glee with...yep Ben and Beanie. And Ben's role?

[quote]Ben is also on the football team, and pretty much sleeps with the entire school and is the heartthrob of McKinley

Does he not have eyes?

Does Ben’s daddy send Ryan a check each month to put out these Ben niceties?

Maybe Ben is providing Ryan with something himself? Ryan clearly has shit taste so it's not inconceivable

Glee was bad enough the first time around.

They're not rebooting Glee.

R280 I don't think Ben has ever even thought about playing football

Ben needs to shave his back.

Ben's hairiness and perpetual sleepy eyes make him creepy to me.

I’ve been seeing Ben Platt on a number of these sing-on-Zoom and it looks like he hasn’t shaved, combed his hair, or even taken a shower in months.

[quote]Ben is also on the football team, and pretty much sleeps with the entire school and is the heartthrob of McKinley

Is Murphy writing Ben Platt fanfiction now?

Are one of these boys going to leave quarantine knocked up?

Platt was cute in RICKI AND THE FLASH (also produced by Daddykins) as well as the first Pitch Perfect. He's generally better onscreen in smaller doses. And he was excellent in EVAN HANSEN (though others have played the role extremely well too).

I tried to listen to his SING TO ME INSTEAD CD and could only listen to a few of the songs all the way through. Way too much icky neediness. So there's way I'm going to watch that Radio City concert. As noted above, Plat must be very high-maintenance.

I do like Feldstein in everything I've seen her do so far. There was a lot of talent in BOOKSMART (Galvin was not a highlight however), especially Kaitlyn Dever as Feldstein's BF. Dever was superb in the Netflix series UNBELIEVABLE (with Merritt Wever and Toni Collette) - if you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it.

Correction: "So there's no way I'm going to watch..."

I don't see the characters Ben Platt plays. I just see Ben Platt. One long vanity exercise to BE FAMOUS.

I'm sorry, but I have to say this. Broadway warps certain performers' minds right? I swear to GOD they all hoof it on the stage, hoping for that big break on some CBS sitcom, and then MAYBE they'll become popular enough to cut a record, but whether it'll be original work or covers of standards who knows?! (most likely the latter)

THEY WILL RELEASE A CHRISTMAS CD!

All of them. All these well respected Tony award winning performers have CORNY fucking music specials or albums. But they never seem to stick. Even Lea Michele released a Christmas album this past year and no one fucking cared.

Platt's roles are limited. He should milk it for all it's worth for now, because he'll soon be relying on daddy's checks and Beanie's rep to keep him relevant, because DEH's already been touring into oblivion and even the Hamilton cast has had a hard time genuinely breaking through.

Platt is the gay male Lea Michele.

Michele's first CD (where she came across as a Celine Dion wannabe) barely caused a blip. She did herself in with that Tony Awards performance of "Don't Rain On My Parade" where she copied Streisand's film version inflection for inflection.

So, one good revelation about this thread that we call all agree upon is Beanie Feldstein is a gay icon for the 21st Century. Of course her apex will be when she comes full circle and stars in either the remake movie or a future day revival of Hello Dolly, doing so while Lea Michele seethes. Of course she’ll insist on a roll for Ben. The best thing Ben ever did was sit by that lone, shy, fat girl at lunch at Harvard Westlake cafeteria.

Yikes. How much money does Ben's father have that Ryan Murphy is kissing Ben's ass over and over again? Or is it in Ben's case his giant forehead?

The two Evans who are dating did a reading yesterday with DL fave Froy and other actors.

Has anyone seen Beanie's new movie How to Build a Girl yet?

The point about Broadway actors and recording careers is so accurate. They all do an album of Broadway songs, but it's always the same ones (for men - Anthem, This is the Moment. Women do On My Own, Memory), with maybe a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah thrown in. The arrangements are usually bland. Then a crappy nondescript pop/easy listening album.

The best Broadway actors with good recording careers are the ones who play to their strengths - Lea Salonga, Barbara Cook, Audra McDonald - they do a mix of standards and some under-appreciated gems and they keep the orchestrations to what you might hear in a theatre rather than pop-ifying them.

[quote]Of course she’ll insist on a roll for Ben.

Ben's avoiding carbs, but thanks anyway.

Something tells me Beanie keeps all the rolls for herself

Beanie eats the rolls Ben slides towards her after Noah gives him a chastising glance.

[quote]She did herself in with that Tony Awards performance of "Don't Rain On My Parade"

Why did Lea have to go [bold]so[/bold] hard. The desperation. You can tell by the way she eyefucks the camera that she's hoping to pierce through the souls of every talent agent in America. The message? CAST ME! Their response?

It's actually killing me how much Ben looks like Frankenstein here, as R2 said. Like wtf....

R302 What I don’t understand is it was a total reprise of what she had done on Glee. I get if she was a last minute addition and just needed to pull it out of her hat, but it could have been a real opportunity for her to showcase something different and make an impact. Does anyone know the choices behind doing that at the Tonys?

[quote] Does anyone know the choices behind doing that at the Tonys?

On the page it should have worked.

See, this was the problem with Glee. It had ONE good season and turned into a cloying phenomenon that ultimately doubled as a train wreck, but REALIZE! That wasn't just Lea's performance! It was Matthew Morrison's as well. He did his number on stage then handed it off to Lea, who was already in the audience!

Then she charges down the aisle like a rhino. Has a brief moment with Groff because we're fully pandering by this point, and then they fucking met on stage or whatever and honestly was just a GODDAMN PROMOTION FOR GLEEEEEEE!

LOOOK! Our Broadway stars MADE IT!

Also, keep in mind... Lea Michele was FULLY unstoppable for a second, and her behavior was FULLY enabled!

If you watch the behind the scenes for Glee (on YouTube), they have footage of her audition. She's in character, right? And she's already nailed the character by the way, and she's honestly perfect, and it's a scene that requires singing, and the accompanist messes up, then Lea [as Rachel (as Lea)] straight up SNAPS at him. Like walks over and verbally gives him what for, but it's in character, so they're like ha ha ha, how genius, let's cast her, but I think in that moment Lea realized she could get away with ANYTHING.

She fused with her character, and we saw that oneness at the Tonys.

She told herself the night before, just like Rachel would, "This is my moment. I'll return back to Broadway, but this time as a FEATURED PERFORMER FROM A HIT SITCOM! O'Hara, Hilty, Benanti, they'll all be JEALOUS! And they'll see. They'll see that I'M THE NEXT BARBRA! I'll perform the song I've been performing in my bedroom every day since I could breathe and now's my chance. They'll have no CHOICE but to cast me in the next revival or film adaptation, but that'll be after I'm obviously cast as Elphaba in the film adaptation of Wicked! One must bide one's time."

See pic at R302.

R305 Oh Naya, come sit by me!

R306 Girl, I gotchu!

Also, Groff, Michele, Platt, & Feinstein is something that DL could write PAPERS on. Also sounds like a law firm.

Beanie will go Groff's way. Platt Michele's.

Groff, by the way, was the new Barbra when he was in Hamilton. I think he modeled his walk down the stage after one of her televised performances from back in the day. He was a phenomenon.

Here's the thing though. We know Lea has an Emmy and Golden Globe noms, but like... she has no Tony nom. That HAS to sting. I bet she's been carrying that since Spring Awakening after Groff was nominated and Gallagher won. Not that Tonys mean much in the grand scheme of things, but at the end of the day, I'd argue it's better to have a Tony nom for ANYTHING on your CV than an Emmy nom for Glee, much less the two Globe noms.

That was the other issue with Glee. The fucking tricked the Academy with that first season's competent, after school flamboyance. It was honestly Jane Lynch that was keeping the show popular.

I think that's why Murphy has so many fucking things running because he knows by the time one derails he's lined up some fucking prestige mini-series that'll sweep the Emmys next season.

He can literally do what he wants, though did The Politician work out for him? It don't feel like it got that much buzz. I guess the Emmys will be announced in a month so we'll see if Platty pusses his way in, but I doubt it.

Maybe he can submit his concert special in those categories Beyonce's Homecoming was nominated for.

Hahah, remember when Beyonce did Platt this favor by meeting him in his hotel room after the show? HOW CANDID!

Okay, by hotel room, I obviously mean dressing room.

I hope Platt really soaked in those memories.

R307 Groff’s my homeboy, my family basically founded Lancaster County and there are intermarriages with Groffs, so I in my mind we’re related in some way. I thought the walk was predicated on the weight of the crown and fear of it falling off? So true the about the pathways, down to Platt & Michele hooking up with Murphy. It looks like there were three legacy living legends Lea had to go up against to get nominated that year, if anything LBB is the one that must sting. And ultimately the right person won.

That's so cool that you've got Groff ties! Groff's great. I'm so happy for him! Weirdly enough he's fun to watch. He shouldn't be. And it's not even because he's gay. It's like he knows how to play with/against that farmboy look to his advantage. He'll always pull some inspired surprise out of his sleeve. It's cool!

[quote] I thought the walk was predicated on the weight of the crown and fear of it falling off?

It is! Groff talked about that and more on Colbert. Apparently the crown was a big deal for all the George's, but he found that he was forced to walk in place just to keep it steady, so he found inspiration from Barbra to make it look goooood. I think!

I think he mentions the specific Barbra song, because I found it on YouTube later. Babs looked GREAT!

[quote]Also, Groff, Michele, Platt, & Feinstein is something that DL could write PAPERS on.

Leave Dianne out of this!

R307 All of which raises the question - how was (is?) she Groff's best friend? Either she's acting nice around him constantly, or he has a much nastier side he's hidden away from public view.

I remember hearing stories from the Spring Awakening workshops where Creel and others would be meeting fans afterwards and she'd phone him from across the street - having sneaked out - and yell at him for making her look bad, or that it's not what 'stars' are meant to do or something like that.

Not to derail the Platt-Galvin’s thread with Groff, but why not, they deserve it! Here’s a video of him on the family farm with an annoying interviewer. They are having loads of fun including making the fainting goats faint. He looks so beefy here, I mean check out those thighs, thicc!

[quote]an annoying interviewer

Yeah, that's Susan's...well, shall we call it a gimmick?

R315 Why was she in Gypsy?

Miss Platt was on Las Culturistas a few months ago and revealed he tried to fuck Groff to no avail.

Ben Platt tried to fuck Groff? How depressing for Platt. I can imagine Lea DYING hearing that news.

[quote]or he has a much nastier side he's hidden away from public view.

This is what I actually believe. You can see this side of him with Lin actually back when the Hamilton cast was playing up their everlasting bond for the fandom. Groff, I'm pretty sure, glided over all the drama cause he literally had three songs and could just be a bitch the entire time, but he and Lin had this like... I don't know, they were really cute together they. They'd record fun little things, and you could always tell that the vanilla exterior's literally just that.

Are they still close? I'm sure they are. What's Lea even DOING?

Honestly, you gotta ask yourself why they never made Wicked around her. I'm actually not joking. Again, it should have happened. Glee was 09? They should have released it the winter Les Mis came out. That's maybe the only time it could have worked with her in regards to relevance, but why wait? Right? WHY WAIT?!

I bet they didn't want her. They knew the fans practically EXPECTED her to play Elphaba in the film adaptation. It was fancast the moment she appeared in Spring Awakening. She's obviously been hearing it her whole career, and I'm sure loved it. They even had Idina play her biological mother on an episode of fucking GLEE! I'm TELLING you Lea's agent was on the phone with Universal, who's owned the rights, BUT HOLD ON!

Ben Platt's DAD owns the RIGHTS! HOLY SHIT GUYS!

Okay, new theory. Platt's dad OWNS THE FILM RIGHTS TO WICKED. Has owned them. If Groff denied his advances... I don't know. Wouldn't be surprised if Platt told his daddy NOT to cast Lea specifically because of some petty bullshit.

Maybe Beanie wants the role.

This Platt kid has too much power and Galvin hitching his wagon to the money mobile is RICH!

DL deconstruct this faghaggery!

[quote]Groff, I'm pretty sure, glided over all the drama

Do you mean the drama over the royalties? Keep in mind he wasn't part of the "lab" so he wouldn't have had a stake in any of that, which makes keeping out of the drama a lot easier.

[quote]Honestly, you gotta ask yourself why they never made Wicked around her

They weren't going to risk Wicked's box office on making the film that early on. Universal let Les Mis be the test subject as to whether a film would impact live ticket sales (for London anyway). Besides, outside of her own mind, her success on Glee wouldn't have necessarily translated to being able to open a film.

I’m a bad gay and refused to see Wicked, I loved the book and Gregory McGuire and don’t want to ruin that. But from what I know of the show, wouldn’t Lea want to be Glinda? That’s the shiny pretty role and fits her demeanor more doesn’t it?

R321, Lea looks much more like an Elphaba. Plus, “Defying Gravity.”

R322 I’ve always seen it performed as a duet? Is it not?

Ugh, please don't let that bitch Lea Michele take over this thread.

R323 Not really, Glinda is more of a supporting role in it, it's definitely Elphaba's song

[QUOTE]Ugh, please don't let that bitch Lea Michele take over this thread.

Lea comes for all.

Okay, cast Platt, Feinstein, Groff, and Michele in a revival... if you want, you can include Noah...

R326 Groff doesn’t want anything to do with a Wicked revival. He just did two seasons as the lead on a David Fincher show and now he’s securing that Matrix 4 money.

R327 You really think he'd turn down a chance to do Wicked if offered? Yeah okay.

Why would there be a "Wicked" revival? It was still playing pre-pandemic, and presumably will open back up once things calm down (if they ever do.)

I'm sorry by Jonathan Groff doesn't belong in the Matrix or any action film, this Matrix 4 will suck big time.

Why all this hate toward Ben Platt? Are you jealous or something? I don't get it. Kid is nice to everyone. I haven't met anyone with anything bad to say about this kid, unlike Tom Hardy.

Who?!

[quote]Are you jealous or something?

It seems the seventh graders have joined us

[quote] It seems the seventh graders have joined us

Am I a seventh grader? Am I the one calling Platt ugly as an argument? Am I the one comparing him to a "hot" brother who according to your ridiculous shallowness should've made it into the business but the father decided to ignore?

[quote]Am I the one calling Platt ugly as an argument?

It's not an argument, it's a fact.

I also note you're one of those posters who thinks there's only one other poster on the site.

Why was Tom Hardy picking on Ben?

r327, r328, r329 I never said a Wicket revival. I said "a" revival. I guess I can see how you'd think Wicked, but I meant a revival of ANY musical with the four of them.

I'm trying to think of classic musicals with 4 main roles they could play.

[quote]I haven't met anyone with anything bad to say about this kid, unlike Tom Hardy.

Does Tom Hardy have a father that essentially produced every major work of art you know?

Platt's father not only has the rights to the film adaptation of Wicked. Motherfucker produced the Broadway show.

You won't hear anything bad about Platt because people enjoy their careers. Notice Platt doesn't socialize outside of his curated circle of connected Broadway peeps.

Ben posted a photo of him and Noah quarantining together.

Noah has surprisingly nice legs

Uhh, Noah looks great bearded and now I'm thinking he can do better than Platt, but let's be honestly for the money it's not a bad gig.

Noah should keep that beard perpetually. Though could you imagine his Booksmart persona with facial hair? Hilarious.

So is Ben’s middle name something beginning with a s S or dies he use Splatt as a nickname?

R340 His middle name is Schiff .

Seriously, it is. Google it.

I wonder how long it will be until the breakup.

R336 You literally said "a Wicked revival" in R327. I just assumed you meant the film version which Groff would definitely jump on.

Oh wait, are you R326? In which case why did you include my reply to R327?

It's not important lol. Wicked revival or not, cast them in SOMETHING!

As a theatregoer, I'd rather you didn't

Very odd couple. There are no tops here.

R347 Don't give them any ideas, they will want to do it on Broadway with a gay twist. What do we do with two Felixes?

"Forced my boy to wear my merch"

Countdown to break-up: THREE...TWO...ONE

Ben talks to Jimmy about the feasibility of doing the Dear Evan Hansen movie, and he mentions his boyfriend in passing.

It’s sweet how much Ben loves to talk about and show off his boyfriend.

R353 they've been together 5 minutes. The new Colton and Jeff. Will Noah have a ring by Halloween?

If "you" wanted an instagay boyfriend you'd have one

R353 You'll get the boyfriend you deserve one day, Connor!

New Connor and Miles thread here:

Noah has a ring. We've all seen it.

Earlier today I couldn't stop imagining Noah bouncing up and down on Ben's big cock.

Is that so wrong?

[Quote] Ben's big cock.

Yes. Daddy can't buy Benny everything, sadly.

Ben Platt looks like a middle-aged, suburban Jewish dad and he's like what, twenty five?

Christ, these two again? Haven’t they broken up yet?

[Quote] Ben Platt looks like a middle-aged, suburban Jewish dad and he's like what, twenty five?

But he has a penthouse so it evens out.

Cute

Drag king posing.

Please stop making him a leading man on television. He doesn’t have the looks and the acting chops.

Christ, neither one or the other has killed the other in their sleep yet? Does their insufferability cancel each other out some how?

They’re going full Colto/Jeff.

Quarantine-wedding by Halloween?

I'd watch that sex tape.

R368 I’d poor bleach in my eyes to keep from seeing it. Especially if they are both in a no manscape body hair phase.

You have a problem with body hair?

Let me know when there's video of the threesome where two Evans slurp on Michael Park's dick.

What would a group of Evan Hansons be called?

A Platt of Hansons?

A Frivolty of Hansons?

A Dainty of Hansons?

Jonah Platt would have such a better career if he was actually willing to take his clothes off. I can't stand pretty boys who refuse to market themselves on their looks, despite the fact that their looks are the only things that make them special. They need to stop being so prudish and accept that the only way they'll break out of community theatre roles and guest spots on dying ABC sitcoms is by showing their asses.

I bet Ben would do nudity. The only problem is he's not the hot brother.

R373 A cast of Hansons.

I think Jonah's trust fund also makes him special.

R374 Thank you, we now have the title of Ben’s memoir “ Not the Hotter Brother.”

[Quote] What would a group of Evan Hansons be called?

A vers of bottoms.

R376 Not in the acting world. Rich kids and nepotism babies are a dime a dozen. Their daddies and mommies and aunts can buy them as many roles in Ryan Murphy productions as they want, but that isn't fame. If Jonah really wants to be seen, as an actor and as a celebrity, he'll suck it up and do nudity.

But he's too prudish. He never will and thus will never break out of roles like the touring Fyiero.

R374 It is much too late for that, he aint that hot anymore.

R380 I'd beg to differ.

He's still hot. He's just straight and famous, which means being prudish about nudity is a given. I don't know why that is, but it is.

Jonah Platt is not famous.

If these two are really out there looking for "3somes in a pandemic," per the Broadway thread, how have we not gotten any actual nudes of Ben beyond that one random unconfirmed dick? I know he's not everybody's cup of tea but if he's whoring around I want to see.

They're still going strong judging from their social media

What's next for Platt and Galvin? Professionally speaking.

Ben Platt's forehead is like a satellite dish.

R386 Season 3 of The Politician for Platt and season 4 of The Good Doctor for Galvin

Two dirty holes do not a couple make.

I'd still watch a video, if there was one

I know I'm in the minority here. But does anyone else want to see these two fucking? Anybody?

I would.

There's a dick pic going around sent from one Evan Hansen to another

Said dick pic. Not bad.

They’re no Connor and Miles

“Ben Platt and Noah Galvan are dating.”

This is such a strange statement to me. I’ve always thought of Ben Platt as an asexual. There’s not a speck of sexuality to him. I’m not sure why anyone would be attracted to him. Maybe they’re both asexuals, resigned to being together for camaraderie.
