Ben Platt on his love for "The Wizard of Oz"

Tony award winner and star of Dear Evan Hansen and Pitch Perfect Ben Platt discovered his love for The Wizard of Oz when he was 4 years old. He recently spoke to People magazine about what the movie means to him.

I just loved the idea of going to this completely different world of unknown fantasy where the sky’s the limit. It made every day feel fantastical.
I wanted to be Dorothy really badly. I would wear red slippers around my house, had this blue jumper that was close enough to what she wore, and a giant yellow lab that I would [call] Toto.

On a related note, Ben also sang a cover of Judy Garland's "The Man that Got Away" you can hear below.
