A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! :O :O :O I never thought we would get to see one of the musicals/plays that Ben did with the NYMT. Thank you sooo much Stephanie!!! *hugs* What a great present to end 2016! :D

It’s clearly better than Hyrise! Ben has nothing to be ashamed of here. ;) The whole musical seems to be pretty hilarious!

Thanks for the smiles and laughs! :D :)

All the best to Ben for 2017! Stephanie I hope you’ll continue running this site as wonderfully as you did in 2016! Many thanks for all your hard work.<3

Wow these pictures from the NYMT are so awesome!??? Ben has always been so talented and he is so blessed that he has become so successful. I can’t even say how proud I am of him.? He looks so young here although he has not aged much. I would love to see videos of this too it looks like an amazing production?

These are amazing videos. I would love to see Ben live in a theater production like this. I’m hoping he someday makes it to Broadway. I have talked to people who were lucky enough to see him in Birdsong in London a few years ago. What a treat that must have been!!!!

Ben was an adorable kid!!

I LOVED this! So funny! I’ve always wanted to see Ben perform on stage. His “Jennifer” performance and “Jennifer/midsummer madness” performances were so cute. I couldn’t stop laughing when he started crawling and taking his shirt off. Wish there were clips of Birdsong! I’d absolutely LOVE to see that! Thanks for uploading Steph!

Tiffany,
have you seen that video on Youtube for Birdsong? It is an advertisement from the theater’s website or maybe it was made to be shown on television. I”m not sure. I would have loved to see Ben in that play. The novel is great too. I couldn’t pull myself away from it. Not only is the romance interesting but it really makes you appreciate what the soldiers who fought in WWI went through.
