“Payton is a difficult character to root for,” Platt, best known for his Tony-winning performance in “Dear Evan Hansen,” told. “Ryan knew it would be important to hear him sing and see his humanity. Ryan tried to be very judicious to not make it a musical world, it’s only when Peyton would in reality ever be singing.”
Over the course of the eight-episode campy drama, Platt belts out renditions of classics such as Joni Mitchell’s “River,” Billy Joel’s “Vienna” and Stephen Sondheim’s “Unworthy of Your Love.” The EP for “,” which dropped Tuesday and hit No. 1 on iTunes charts in less than 24 hours, includes the trio of hits performed in the show, as well as “Run Away,” an original song from Platt’s debut album, “Sing to Me Instead.
“Unworthy of Your Love” I didn’t know about until halfway through shooting. Stephen Sondheim is very important to me so I was really happy we got to do that, particularly that I got to do it with Zoey [Deutch] because I don’t think people know what a great singer she is. For “Vienna,” a few weeks before we got the script for the finale, Ryan reached out to me and said, “I’m going to name the episode after a song Peyton is going to sing at the piano bar at Marie’s Crisis in New York.
