They are now halfway to an EGOT and have a chance at winning a Grammy next year for the Dear Evan Hansen album. The guys are also writing new music for their musical A Christmas Story‘s live production on Fox, which will make them eligible for an Emmy next year as well!

Fox just announced that the network will produce a live production of A Christmas Story: The Musical this holiday season!

The musical version of the classic movie has an original score written by Oscar winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who won the Academy Award for Best Original Song this year for their work on La La Land.

The songwriters also have a chance at winning a Tony Award this year for their new musical Dear Evan Hansen. They are set to write new songs for the televised version of A Christmas Story, making them eligible for awards at the 2018 Emmys.

Next year, the duo will have chances at being nominated for and possibly winning Grammys as well, potentially sealing an EGOT in record time!

Ben Platt sits on stage alongside co-star Laura Dreyfuss during SiriusXM’s Town Hall with the original Broadway cast of Dear Evan Hansen on Friday (April 14) in New York City.

They were joined by the rest of the cast – Rachel Bay Jones, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Michael Park, Mike Faist, Kristolyn Lloyd, and Will Roland – as well as the creative team, including Oscar-winning songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

In a new interview with Teen Vogue, Ben was asked to reveal the biggest lie he’s ever told as the Broadway musical is based on a lie that his character tells.

Ben opened up about being at sleep-away camp when the fifth Harry Potter book came out. All the kids’ parents sent them copies of the book, except his didn’t.

“In the middle of the night, I took another kid’s copy from my bunk and wrote my name in it, and put it on my bunk bed,” Ben said. “And then in the morning he just assumed that he lost his and assumed that mine had come in the mail and I completely got away with it. It certainly ate away at me – enough that I can still remember it, but I have never come clean. I don’t even remember his full name. I know it’s also Ben, which is why I thought to take his. So if he’s reading this, I’m really sorry and I hope you got to read the fifth Harry Potter.”

Emma Stone appreciates humor for a lot of reasons.

The 28-year-old La La Land actress recently opened up about how it helps her cope with her more sensitive side.

“Humor has always been my great joy because I have this sensitive makeup. I think it helps me to be around people who can make light of situations that I’m taking too seriously,” Emma told Backstage.com. “As I get older, I understand that I’m lucky to be sensitive. For a long time, I think I rejected that part of myself, because it’s painful. But it’s really nice to just admit what you’re going through, because it frees other people up to admit what they’re going through as well.”

Pictured: Emma attends a La La Land luncheon, hosted by Bulleit Bourbon, with the film’s songwriting team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, writer/director Damien Chazelle, composer Justin Hurwitz, and editor Tom Cross at Le Coucou on Sunday (November 27) in New York City.

FYI: Emma is wearing a The Row top and skirt with Jimmy Choo shoes.
