Oh, Really, Now??????????? Isn't This A Bit Too Much???????????????

                            I mean, if you were talking Judy (Garland), Liza, Bette Midler, or BARBRA--sure!!!!!!!!!!

                            But Ben Platt??????????????????

                           The fellow is talented enough; I have heard him sing, and I wish I had seen the revival of "Parade," but it was a choice between that or "Sweeney Todd," so I went with Groban and Sondheim.  I have no regrets.  Money only stretches so far, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              I saw Platt do his 'Evan Hansen' thing on the TONYS, and he was quite good.  He might have been in the movie, but the filmmakers undermined him.  And what I heard from "Parade" was gorgeous.

                              But--two Broadway shows, and now an act at The Palace?  Are you kidding?

                              A two week run?  At how much a ticket?  Ben, honey, you better be good, because this could make or break you.

                                 Now, if it was Daniel Radcliffe or Jonathan Groff, I could see why.

                                 But Ben Platt?  Is he even ready, dears????????????????
