  • Jewish Exponent
    Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised the former preschool king of Shabbat has become one of the kings of both Broadway and Hollywood. After all, from the time he was a little boy, Benj Pasek always seemed to understand the power of words and realize how music reaches into our souls. Now that he’s becoming the talk of two towns doing it for a living — teaming with Justin Paul to write the lyrics to the Golden Globe-winning song “City of Stars” from La La Land, along with the Broadway hit musical Dear Evan Hansen — he sees it as simply the culmination of a lifelong pursuit. “I wrote songs beginning at 9, then started to write at the piano around 12 and did the Philly Songwriter’s Project when I was 15,” recalled the 31-year-old Ardmore native, who’s taking all the accolades — including two Oscar nominations for original song — in stride. “So getting to write and work in theater and tell stories for a living is something I always wanted to do. “Getting to explore character and write about things that interest me has always been exciting. I also always loved to sing, so that was my gateway into learning how music has this amazing ability to provide emotion. It’s the universal language. “If you can use a universal language, you’re able to tell the story in a beautiful way, because the emotion is a part of the story and you’re giving people a sense of how to feel. I’ve always viewed it as a wonderful way to communicate, and I’m thrilled I get to wake up and do it every day.” He’s also thrilled he’ll have an opportunity to do it in his own backyard when Pasek and Ben Platt, star of Dear Evan Hansen, headline JEVS Human Services’ 75th Anniversary Gala at the Hyatt at the Bellevue on March 27.
