We kvelled at the Tony Award win for Dear Evan Hansen‘s very charming, very vulnerable Ben Platt.
But did you know… that he once sang Hebrew songs around the fire (or whatever campers gathered ’round) at Jewish sleepaway camp? We’ve got the evidence to prove it, from a 2015 performance at a show aptly titled: “From Camp Ramah to Broadway.”
And here’s a video of Platt doing a more recent ditty from the play that netted him his Tony.

Can we ask?
It's important to us to keep the warm, joyfully Jewish community on Kveller accessible for all. Reader donations help us do just that. Can you spare a few to keep Kveller free? (We'll love you forever.)
