Jared Fessler, BroadwayWorld: It was a joy to see Ben singing his own music. While his musical theater performances are beloved, hearing and seeing him perform original songs that he wrote allowed the audience to explore a deeper side of Ben. He shared his journey with songwriting and producing his music, making the performance feel personal and intimate.

Jessie Bond, Splash Magazines: While Broadway lovers may find themselves disappointed by the musical selections here, the overall concert experience is delightful. Platt is a compelling performer with some really enjoyable songs under his belt, and while another showtune or two might do the concert some good, it’s still a dazzling show with an essential message of love and support for the queer community.

Frank O'Donnell, What's Up Newp: And then Platt pulled out all the stops. Donning a white robe with faux fur trim, he presented an homage to a performer he “worships” – Liza Minelli. He belted out “Maybe This Time” and earned a standing ovation. “Thanks for supporting my decision,” he said as he tossed the robe into the wings. Ben Platt’s The Honeymind Tour is thoroughly entertaining. If you get the chance, see it.
