Patron Exclusive Review Episode 81
Don’t fall out of the apple tree with anyone else but me.
Ben Platt caught a bad break reprising his Tony-winning role in the movie adaptation of Broadway’s Dear Evan Hansen.

And does his deception sound sweeter whenever he sings show tunes to surrogate moms Julianne Moore and Amy Adams? Become a Now Playing Patron this June and have a great day with this podcast review!
