Ben Tyler Cook - Blog Posts

FACTS!!!!

Mouthpiece is just a less likeable version of Racetrack Higgins and I think its great that Ben Cook is just playing the same character in two different musicals

wss 2021: *opens with a bunch of white boys dancing in the streets of new york*

my brain: i'm getting strong newsies vibes from this

It’s an addiction

Me at 3am clicking “keep reading” on the most jaw dropping, earth shattering, pantie dropping, smutty fic when I have to be up in 3 hours

Like Y/N needs to shut tf up. Disrespectfully.

me @ y/n when they do something i’d never do:

like babe this isn’t us ?? get it together

GYAT DAMN!

(I apologize)

great job everybody, that's a wrap.

I literally just saw Mr. Ben Tyler Cook, (HIS CHARACTER) get shot in the face.

Crazy day.

This picture of Ben Cook as Riff makes me want to do unspeakable things.

golden trio

just wanted to say that you’re art is like, so friggin good and you deserve more likes and follows, I love newsies 💗

aaa thank you so much :,))) this means a lot to me!!! i love newsies too, and i love drawing, so i'm very very glad that others like what i make and share :D

have a backstage silly C:

to be entirely honest i'm still trying to figure out how to draw race's/btc's face but i do know that i do not do him justice lmao

a little ralbert for the soul

here’s the pinterest reference image (which i color dropped from bc i refuse to learn color theory sorry)

and below is the timelapse bc I love when ppl share them. it’s cropped weird pls ignore lol

my villain origin story is that I saw ben cook as riff in West Side Story previews and don't remember any of it. literally forgot it was him until I watched newsies and was like... i know this man.

I went back and found my playbill as proof but i have ZERO memory.

listening to casmir pulaski day on repeat so many times that my tummy hurts

somebody else said this first (@make-friends-with-the-rats) but im thinking about race’s character being split across him and albert in the stage version.

but i think that explains so much about the twinkification of race (which so many people have so eloquently critiqued). all his anger and traditional masculinity is placed into albert, who’s only identifier in the script is ‘tough guy’. (again, somebody posted these character descriptions but unfortunately I can’t find that either, pls correct me if i’m wrong about this).

I love Albert and Race and their stage dynamic (particularly in livesies with sky and ben) so i’m not upset about this choice, but I do think it explains a lot of what bugs me about fandom interpretation of Race.

anyways, maybe that’s why i’m such a ralbert truther, because it brings these seperate halves back together. who knows.

my annoying ass brother: Solve this problem

*5 minutes later*

Me guessing cause all I was thinking about was btc: X is greater than the value of Y

My brother:I fucking hate you
