Today is a great day, and here is why: we have a release date for Ben Platt's previously announced Netflix concert special! The Dear Evan Hansen Tony winner and Politician star's Radio City concert will air on May 20. Platt took to Twitter to announce the date.
In September I had one of the most wonderful nights of my life.
