  • For Ben Platt, Song Association (or as his family plays, 'Sing Down') is nothing new, but Molly Gordon is ready to become the leaderboards 'worst nightmare' - and despite the besties opposing assertions, they were able to pull it together. Ben and Molly sing Beyoncé, ABBA, and of course, theatre classics from Mean Girls the Musical and West Side Story, all while revealing behind-the-scenes insiders on their new movie, 'Theater Camp.'

    Ben choosing "Mean Girls" over "Hamilton" for "burn" was a shocking choice. LOL

    Photographs in front of the theater'

    You know i had a DEH phase when the first thing i thought of for “friend” was “Dear Conor Murphy, I’m just glad to be your friend.” The song they used was a much more logical pick.
    Also Ben not thinking of “For Forever” for the word “forever” shocked me since he sang the song everyday for years.
