Earlier this year Ben was Associate Music Director for The Secret Life of Bees, which ran off-Broadway directed by Sam Gold. He has worked on the music team for the Broadway productions of Fiddler on the Roof, American Psycho and Pippin. Ben is also the musical director for many major Broadway stars!

During his recent trip to London, Ben sat down with West End Frame Editor, Andrew Tomlins, to discuss Jeremy Jordan & Broadway Princess Party, his path to becoming a musical director, the shows he has worked on, plus lots more!
