Ben Platt 'Honeymind' New Album
Ben Platt's Broadway residency supports his upcoming new album, "Honeymind," which will be released on May 31, 2024.
Broadway World reported that the said album was written over the past two years across Nashville, Savannah, Los Angeles, and New York. Platt noted that the album was inspired by a hike that he took with his fiancee and fellow "Dear Evan Hansen" actor Noah Galvin. Both Platt and Galvin played the titular role on Broadway during its original run. They also starred together in the 2023 film "Theatre Camp" along with Molly Gordon and Ayo Edebiri, among many others.
"One day I ate some mushroom chocolate and went on a hike with the love of my life," Platt recalled on Instagram. "As we walked and took in our surroundings, he could see how happy I was and asked me to describe the feeling. I looked up at the ceiling of treetops, hundreds of rays of golden light were pouring through all the tiny gaps in the leaves like a shimmering pattern.
The "Dear Evan Hansen" actor already released the lead single for the album, "Andrew," last weekend.
