“singular orchestrations.”

– The Chicago Tribune

Benjamin has provided orchestrations, arrangements, and music preparation for a host of Broadway stars including Brian D’Arcy James, Jessie Mueller, Ethan Slater, Heather Headley, and Jennifer Holliday. His orchestrations for the Marriott Theatre’s Jeff Award-winning production of Damn Yankees (2023) were lauded in The Chicago Tribune, and his concert selections of theatre classics are regularly performed by U.S. Air Force Bands. Benjamin has arranged music for Austin’s ZACH Theatre, The Human Race Theater Co. in Dayton, the Hangar Theatre in Ithaca, the All Roads Theatre Company in L.A., and over a dozen other theaters across the country.

By both reimagining classic scores and forging new soundscapes for cutting-edge contemporary works, Benjamin has established himself as a leader in the art of storytelling through orchestration. Many of his orchestrations are available to rent, with popular titles including Sweeney Todd (6 pieces), The Music Man (9 pieces), Damn Yankees (9 pieces), How to Succeed (6 pieces) and more.
