Ben Platt hosts a 10-show residency at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles

Tony, Grammy and Emmy-winning entertainer Ben Platt returned to his Los Angeles roots Friday, announcing a 10-show concert residency at downtown’s Ahmanson Theater. “Ben Platt: Live at the Ahmanson” opens in Los Angeles at the Center Theater Group from December 12-21.

The two-week engagement marks a homecoming for the “Dear Evan Hansen” and “Theater Camp” star, who launched her early career at the Ahmanson in productions like “Dead End” and “Caroline, or Change.” “Ben Platt: Live at the Ahmanson,” directed by two-time Tony Award winner Michael Arden (“Parade”), will feature the Broadway veteran performing selections from his solo albums alongside musical theater classics.

Each evening will also feature special musical guests, just like its 2024 Broadway residency, which brought in heavyweights like Cynthia Erivo, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Hudson, Kacey Musgraves and Sam Smith for jaw-dropping duets.

“When you think about the best in musical theater, it simply doesn’t get better than Ben Platt. You never know who’s going to join him on stage each night,” Center Theater Group artistic director Snehal Desai said in a statement, adding that it was “the holiday event of the season.”

Platt, 32, first gained national attention in “Pitch Perfect” before creating the title role in “Dear Evan Hansen” on Broadway and in the 2021 feature film adaptation. The stage production earned him the 2017 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical. He went on to win a Grammy for the show’s cast album and an Emmy for television performance. His on-screen credits also include a starring role in Ryan Murphy’s “The Politician” on Netflix. He has released two solo albums, “Sing to Me Rather” and “Reverie.”
