as Legally Blonde, Benjamin and⁣ O'Keefe worked together on film and TV projects, as well as on a smaller-scale stage show Life of the party which has so far been performed at NYC's LaGuardia High School and at NYU Steinhardt School. How do they work together? Occasionally the process disrupts their sleep-"Sometimes one of us will wake up at 2 a.m. to tell the other, 'I just⁣ figured out how to fix that lyric!,'" said O'Keefe-or spurs disagreements."It's fun as, if we have arguments, they're substantive ⁢and there's usually a deadline involved," said Benjamin. "I think it's actually helpful as a couple ⁢to have somthing productive to work toward together."

The husband-and-wife team are already underway on their next stage ⁤musical. After opening Huzzah! at the Old Globe later this month, they're heading to London for a reading of Fado, a political farce set just before the 1755 Lisbon earthquake⁤ "with very sad songs," according to O'Keefe.
