This holiday season, the magic comes early in Los Angeles, as we invite you to join Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award winner Ben Platt for an electric, new two-week residency at the Ahmanson Theatre!
For 10 performances only, from December 12–21, Ben and a star-studded set of special guests join forces to perform a dazzling new concert of some of his greatest hits, as well as a set of timeless Broadway favorites. We can’t reveal who’ll share the stage, but his 2024 Broadway residency was a veritable who’s who of Broadway and Pop music royalty, including Cynthia Erivo, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Hudson, Kacey Musgraves, Sam Smith, Micaela Diamond, and Shoshana Bean, among many others. And this time—Ben's upping the ante, with even more incredible surprise guests joining the fun each night.
Originally directed by Tony Award winner Michael Arden (Parade), Ben Platt: Live at the Ahmanson marks a homecoming for Ben, as he returns to the very stage and city that launched his theatrical career (Dead End; Caroline, or Change).
"Ben Platt defines 'entertainer.' Watching him...feels like a celebration of the power of entertainment."
