Ben and his sister Emma will appear in their school's (Metropolitan School of the Arts) production of "Footloose" this weekend, June 28-29, at the Nova Alexandria Campus outside of DC. Ben posted this dance video on his Instagram. The song is not from "Footloose" so I'm not sure if this is something they added, or what. Looks a lot like Angry Dance, doesn't it?

There are some rehearsal photos from the school's public Facebook page. Judging from the photos, I am guessing Ben plays the lead role. This is an especially great pic:

Break a leg Ben and Emma!

Even better news on the Newsies front. Ben is playing Race. It will be interesting to see what he looks like with a cigar in his mouth. 8-)
