“Dear Evan Hansen” actor Ben Platt has kicked off a 18-show residency at Broadway’s historic Palace Theatre, which runs through June 15. In addition to the newly renovated venue, the star gave the New York Post a tour of other places that have shaped him — including the Bowery Hotel and Joseph Leonard restaurant — in this exclusive photo shoot.
