Hi everyone, this is Kate Snow and I'm so happy to share with you a conversation that I had with Ben Platt as part of my series The Drink.

Ben, of course, known for his Tony award-winning performance as Evan in Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway.

But did you know that he's been acting since he was five years old?

Ben talks with me about reprising the role of Evan in the film version of Dear Evan Hansen.

He also tells me how he was able to deliver such a powerful performance night after night when he was on Broadway.

And Ben may be eyeing a return to the stage sometime soon.

You can hear so many more stories of success from top artists, entrepreneurs and visionaries.

You can find it all at www.nbcnews.com slash the drink.

I love live performance more than anything.

And so both in terms of original music and returning to the theater to Broadway, hopefully at some point soon.

That's a huge something that I see in my future.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hopefully returning to Broadway sometime soon.

That's going to get all your fans attention.

Ben Platt, hello.

Hello there.

All right, what's your drink?

It's slightly boring, but it's very healthy. It's just some water.

I mean, I'm just going to say that Jane Goodall had a whiskey and we've had martini.

We've had kombucha and smoothies.

Water might be the most boring drink we've had, but I'm getting it.

I have at least I have exciting nails to make up for the boring water.
