Jonah Platt LIVE from Atlanta, IN CONCERT: From Broadway's Wicked to Jewish Music and More

Jonah Platt takes the stage live in Atlanta for a night of music and conversation, from his time in Broadway's Wicked to the personal mission behind Being Jewish with Jonah Platt. Part interview, part concert, as Jonah explains the real turning point that pushed him from acting into full-time Jewish advocacy work, and the moment he decided to walk away from the stage for good. Jonah performs a song that's never been heard by an audience before, a number cut from a musical he's been quietly developing for years. Between songs, Jonah opens up about where his relationship with Israel actually stands today, a Hebrew song he's been honored to sing at friends' weddings, and the track Broadway musical director Seth Rudetsky recommended that became his own love letter to his audience. This is Jonah Platt LIVE from Atlanta.
