At the ripe old age of 12 (he turns 13 in July), Ben Krieger is well on his way to becoming a Broadway show veteran. The preteen from Palm Beach Gardens already has two national tours under his belt with “Pippin” and “The Sound of Music.” Now, he’s coming back to his home region with the road tour of “Finding Neverland,” which runs June 13-25 at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale.
“I’ve been touring for like, basically, two years,” Krieger says from a tour stop in Tampa. “It’s really been hard, because I have to kind of handle my own life. I’m kind of by myself. My parents can’t always come with me on the road. But it’s also kind of a good thing. It’s taught me how to be really independent and mature.”
