Quarantining makes for some strange bedfellows.  For instance, who knew that two of Broadway’s Evan Hansens are dating?  Yes, we’re talking about the original star, Ben Platt, and his successor, Noah Galvin.  You remember Noah – he’s the one who was on that short-lived sitcom that owes part of its swift demise to that vitriolic interview he gave to Vulture.  As part of Galvin’s redemption tour, he took over the lead in Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway and made quite an impression on people…including Platt.  On a podcast, Noah said, “Ben and I are dating.  I asked him this morning.  I was like, ‘Are we allowed to talk about this?’  And he’s like, ‘Don’t go into our nitty gritty, but yeah, people can know.’”  On behalf of my readers – we actually enjoy the nitty, to say nothing of the gritty.  The couple are quarantining together – along with a female Broadway performer.

Adding to the incestuousness, Ben and Noah are not the only Dear Evan Hansen alums to have hooked up.  After Noah Galvin left the show, he was replaced by Taylor Trensch.  Taylor is now dating his understudy, Ben Levi Ross – who in turn led the national tour.  So, to all my single readers out there, here is my advice – get cast in a Broadway show.  I know that seems a daunting task, but frankly, so is dating!
