A Diana McLaughlin tweeted to Ben Platt:
''You are an asshole! My daughters waited for you twice after seeing your show but refused to come out and greet fans. Garbage!''
In response to those who have been upset that he's often a no-show at the stage door, Platt tweeted:
''Performing 'Dear Evan Hansen' every night is wonderful but also hugely tough – as much as I would like to be out there every night, very often I cannot come to the stage door after the performance. My priority must always be self-care so I can recreate the same quality show each night. That’s my job, and what each and every audience member is paying for and deserves. Before you tweet hateful things about how I don’t value out incredible fans when I can’t come to the door, please pause to consider that my responsibility to them is first and foremost to give my all each night. I preserve myself because I value each of them deeply.'' |
