Ben Platt at the Palace, Jinkx Monsoon In-Studio and Opening Nights Galore on The Broadway Show

Tony Awards season is in full swing following the announcement of the 2024 nominees. The Broadway Show with Tamsen Fadal kicks off this week with Fadal recapping the nominees for this year's top honors, Best Musical and Best Play. But before the Broadway community settles into its monthlong Tony fever, The Broadway Show is celebrating the final batch of productions that took the stage this season. There are also a few sneak peeks into the season ahead and a check-in from the road—because Broadway never sleeps.

Tony Award winner Ben Platt sits down with host Fadal to talk about his upcoming concert residency at the refurbished Palace Theatre. Find out what Platt has on tap for his fans while getting an early look inside the beautiful new Broadway house.
