Gavin has loved bringing to the stage two roles that were originally created by Fred Astaire – in the world premieres of Holiday Inn and Top Hat (Olivier Award for Best Musical).
Currently Gavin can be seen playing Thénadier in the first world concert tour of Les Miserables, a role he previously played on Broadway. He has just returned from London where he was performing in Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends with Bernadette Peters, a role he is excited to reprise on Broadway in 2025. Directly before this he played Lumière in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at the London Palladium. He originated the role of Squidward in The SpongeBob Musical on Broadway (Drama Desk Award winner and Tony Award nomination). He also originated the role of Bert in the West End and Broadway productions of Mary Poppins (Drama Desk and Theatre World Award winner, Olivier, Helen Hayes and Tony Award nominations). He played the title character in How The Grinch stole Christmas at Madison Square Garden and Frank Shultz in Showboat at Carnegie Hall. Gavin considers himself extremely fortunate to have worked multiple times with the titans of musical theatre including Sir Cameron Mackintosh, Tom Schumacher, Susan Stroman, Sir Trevor Nunn, Sir Richard Eyre and Sir Matthew Bourne.
TV credits include “Law and Order: SUV”, “The Good Wife”, “Little America” and “White Collar.”
Select Broadway & West End theatre credits include The 39Steps, Crazy For You, Peggy Sue Got Married, Me and My Girl, Over My Shoulder, Oklahoma!, Contact, Chicago and Singin’ In The Rain.
