Info for Reverie

The sophomore album from the award-winning singer, songwriter, and actor best known for starring in Broadway productions of The Book of Mormon and Dear Evan Hansen. He is also the star of the 2021 film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen.

The Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award-winning performer known for his roles in Netflix series The Politician and the Pitch Perfect films adds that writing the track came “incredibly naturally” despite the circumstances. “It was an immediate expression of the mixed emotions I was feeling that day — the sadness to be away from him against the joy and celebration of finding someone I love enough to make me feel that way,” Ben explains.
