Glenn Cook, Ben's dad, posted this on his Facebook today:
Congrats to the Newsies tour cast on their 500th show this afternoon in St. Louis. After #502 tomorrow, the boy leaves for a new, big adventure.
Happy trails!

Here is an "exit from Newsies" backstage Farewell Q&A interview with Ben. The quality is terrible, but it gives a good look at what his professional life is like as he leaves the show.

Ben's dad, Glenn, has done his usual terrific job on his blog in this overview entry about Ben's experiences getting Tuck Everlasting up and running on Broadway. A good read.

Glenn Cook posted another blog in his excellent 'Stage Dad' series, this one about Ben's short-lived run in "Tuck Everlasting". Included are some great photos of the show, plus stage door visits from family, friends, and former BETM castmates.
