Benjamin Cheng

The most nervous I've been before a show, but my co-workers' support was incredible!

Benjamin Cheng's first appearance as Gaston was a trial by fire. “Three hours later, I was on for that night as Gaston, without having any kind of rehearsal," he said. The Briarcrest alum will perform in 'Beauty & the Beast' national touring show in Memphis.

It was a great day the Peabody Hotel. 🌹 🦆 🕰️

A Memphis native has returned home to take the Orpheum stage — and help his castmates find a good place to eat. Plus, the Peabody ducks are keeping time with the help of a new clock.

One year ago yesterday, we began rehearsals for the North American tour of Beauty and the Beast Musical in the new 42nd Street Studios in New York. We've seen beautiful cities, experienced the unknown, and met some amazing people. I am humbled to share the stage with fellow cast members, who are now friends. This year has been an experience and one I am grateful for. Cheers to many more clinks of glasses and a story as old as time!
