VIDEO : Ben Platt Reflects On Fans Reaction To Him Coming Out

As the star of Broadway?s ?Dear Evan Hansen,? Ben Platt delivered a heart-wrenching, fiercely affecting performance eight times a week. The Emmy-, Grammy- and Tony-winning star dropped by ?The Ellen DeGeneres Show? Wednesday to speak about the album, ?Sing to Me Instead,? which finds him opening up about a number of personal topics, including finding ? and losing ? love. ?Hopefully we?re past the time where it?s gotta be this whole giant announcement, and it can just be a part of who you are and part of the work,? he told DeGeneres.
