The Heart of Rock and Roll

This past summer Ben joined the company of Broadway's The Heart of Rock and Roll as a Vacation Swing, fulfilling a life long dream of dancing on Broadway!

Legally Blonde

This summer of 2023, Ben was a part of Kansas City Starlight's production of Legally Blonde, directed by OBC Brooke Wyndham and Broadway legend, Nikki Snelson.

The show received updates and rewrites from its writers Lawrence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin, which included the addition of a character in "Harvard Variations" named Cezar Tepesh, a Russian oligarch and son of an oil baron.

Ben had the great honor of originating the role of Cezar. It was truly an incredible experience getting to create a character in a show that he has loved for years and means so much to him.
