Ben Platt Selected for Entertainment Weekly's Entertainers of the Year

Entertainment Weekly has made its picks for Entertainers of the Year 2017 and Tony Award-winner, Ben Platt, has made the list.

In a new interview with the magazine, Platt reflects on his fantastic year, which included picking up his first Best Actor honor, meeting his heroes, and living at the center of a cultural phenomenon.

On his big win, Platt says, "The year has been the greatest of my life so far, and the most roller coaster-like. Obviously when I look back, the Tonys jumps out as an incredible experience and just a lifelong dream coming true in a literal way, and the fact that I got to spend it with my whole family and be present for it in a way that I really wanted to be is what I remember the most, and I worked really hard to not let it pass me by without taking it in."

And what is Ben's second favorite memory after winning a Tony? "Beyoncé coming to see Dear Evan Hansen is another big day that pops out in my life because I was in the same room as Beyoncé - need I say more?"
