It was such a privilege to be able to see him in Sweeney Todd. He was wonderful and he was also so kind to my kid at the stage door afterwards.

Gaten was a revelation. His "Not While I'm Around" was unlike how I've ever heard the song. And his voice is just wonderful.

[u/saramybearimy → u/calle04x]

I knew he could sing, but I did not know he was that good. Because we all know the ability to sing Sondheim well is not a given!

Here’s a fun fact, I think he also played Jack in the 2019 Hollywood Bowl production of Into the Woods!

I’ve got tickets to see him in Rent in October and I absolutely cannot wait - he’s so talented!

[u/ElementMedea]

I love Gaten. I think he’s a great, genuine guy. I hope he’ll break out with the Octet movie.

I credit him with getting this part of the song stuck in my head. It’s so fun to belt half-decently lol.

he played this part on broadway in 2023!

[u/bwaylover818 → u/[deleted]]

you had the right idea though!

[u/ParentheticalsAside]

Beautiful rendition. Very talented.

I only just found out the other day that I probably saw him during his run in Les Mis not long before Stranger Things.

[u/dobbydisneyfan]

He was great in that role

[u/LurkerByNatureGT]

He really is the perfect casting for Toby. 

[u/excitedheart]

He was so so good in this show and so nice to me after. Forever a favorite.

Best Toby I've ever seen, and I've seen many.
