The 23-year-old actor will play his final performance in the show on November 19 and he will be replaced by Noah Galvin.

Noah, best known for his work on ABC’s The Real O’Neals, will play a limited run in the musical starting on November 21.

Taylor Trensch, who is currently starring on Broadway in Hello, Dolly!, will then join the show in mid-January 2018.

Dear Evan Hansen won six Tony Awards this year, including Best Musical!

This was Suri‘s first time seeing the musical while Katie has seen it twice before.

After the show, Katie and Suri headed backstage where they took a cute picture with the show’s star Ben Platt.

Suri also took to the Dear Evan Hansen celeb autograph wall and signed it herself.

Ben Platt has taken to Twitter to respond to some messages of hate he has received for not meeting fans at the stage door following performances of Broadway’s Dear Evan Hansen.

Fans regularly line up outside of the actors’ stage door following each show to greet the stars while they exit the theater. While Ben often does greet fans and signs autographs, he sometimes is too exhausted from his emotionally draining (and Tony-winning) performance to spend the extra time with fans after work.

“Performing Dear Evan Hansen every night is wonderful but also hugely tough – as much as I would like to be out there every night, very often I cannot come to the stage door after the performance,” Ben wrote in a note on Twitter. “My priority must always be self-care so I can recreate the same quality show each night. That’s my job, and what each and every audience member is paying for and deserves.”

“Before you tweet hateful things about how I don’t value out incredible fans when I can’t come to the door, please pause to consider that my responsibility to them is first and foremost to give my all each night. I preserve myself because I value each of them deeply,” he added.

While getting to meet a star after a Broadway show is an added bonus sometimes, the performers have no obligation to greet fans as a meet-and-greet is not part of the ticket being purchased!

Ben Platt belts out “Waving Through A Window” from Dear Evan Hansen while performing at the 2017 Tony Awards on Sunday (June 11).

The 23-year-old actor won the Best Actor in a Musical award for his amazing work in the show. The show also won Best Musical. Congrats!

Ben‘s performance at the Tony’s is so impressive considering he was on vocal rest this week on doctor’s orders.

The guys just won the award for Best Original Score for writing the music and lyrics for the musical Dear Evan Hansen.

Also pictured in the gallery are the nominated featured actors from the show, Rachel Bay Jones and Mike Faist.

Pasek and Paul won an Oscar earlier this year for writing the song “City of Stars” for the movie La La Land. 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!

Dear Evan Hansen star Ben Platt won’t be performing leading up to this weekend’s Tony Awards.

The 23-year-old Broadway star took to his Twitter to announce that his doctor had ordered vocal rest ahead of his big award show performance.

“Hello, wonderful Evan Hansen fans. I wanted to share that I just came from the doctor and I’m so sorry to report that he’s put me on vocal rest, which means I have to call out of the show tonight,” he wrote.

Evan added, “I work very hard to avoid missing, but I must of course listen to the doctor’s orders and preserve long-term health to miss as few future shows as possible.”

It sounds like Ben has high hopes that he’ll be better in time for the Tonys on Sunday though!

“Hoping to be back sometime this weekend, and the doc is certain that at the latest I’ll be A-OK by the time we reach Sunday night for the Tony performance. I feel alright but just can’t make a peep. I’m so, so very sorry to disappoint. Much Love. Sincerely, Me,” Ben concluded.

In addition to performing, Ben is also nominated for Best Actor in a Musical.
