That's Me, Ben.

Three months of rehearsal. Hours of practice at home. Seven shows. Trying to figure out a French accent - it’s all over.

My last show of Beauty and the Beast was last night, and it was amazing. Nothing went wrong, and everybody was wonderful. I even hit the last note in “Human Again”, which is a big accomplishment. Victoria (Belle) told me she was going to cry, and I told her not to, or else I would. So we made it through the show, but waiting outside while the audience filed out, she lost it, so then I did too, then Jessica (Mrs. Potts) and Tyler (Cogsworth) too. Big group hug, lots of tears and tissues.

I know it sounds so cliche, because every movie/show cast says it, but we really did become a family. At first I felt really not a part of CTW because I didn’t know anyone, but everyone welcomed me, especially Tyler. Then we met Jessica, and the rest is history. We’ve all become so close, it’s almost devastating to have the show end. Actually, it is. :’(

So, in the end, I am so happy the I decided to audition I can’t even describe it. Until the next show, au revoir, mon amis.
