Platt earned his first Tony nomination and award for the role of Evan Hansen. He was also the youngest actor ever to win the Drama League’s Distinguished Performance Award, also for his work in the role. Having originated the role in its out-of-town Washington, D.C. tryout, Platt continued with the show through its Off-Broadway incarnation at Second Stage Theatre and then for the Broadway transfer. Written by Tony winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and directed by Michael Greif, the musical won six 2017 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. After departing the show November 19, Platt will pursue a music career, having signed with Atlantic Records.
