Ben Platt says having parents in the industry gave him an opportunity many people don’t have: getting bitten by a theater bug. “They let me try what I wanted to try. And that’s the only reason that I got to meet Molly [Gordon].” Interview:
This movie seems to me like sort of a love letter to you and Molly and your relationship. How did you both develop your characters, and is there anyone in particular they are based on?
Yeah, I think so. The intensity of their artistic connection, particularly when they were writing the musical together, and the way that they kind of blindly one-up each other and gas each other up, and really enable each other. I think that were Molly and I to collaborate and teach in that way, we certainly would become those people. I do tend toward maybe a more natural intensity and Type A kind of personality than Molly. Molly tends to go with the flow a little bit better than I do.
and we were like, 12 or 13. And she was like, “Who do you like? You have to like someone in the show.” And I’m like, “I’m gay.” And she was like, “oh,” and then just kind of ran to everybody in our show, who most of them probably already assumed or knew. And then from that point forward, we just moved on, as friends. But she kind of coaxed it out of me.
I would say, in this film, it’s more about that my siblings all did musical theater at The Adderley School. And so when I was old enough to go, I just really wanted to be like them, and I looked up to all of them.
