BIO

Charlie was born in London. After graduating from Laine Theatre Arts, he made his professional debut in Wicked (Apollo Victoria Theatre), before playing Eddie in Mamma Mia! (International tour).


In 2016, he was cast by Cameron Mackintosh to play Arthur Kipps in his new production of Half a Sixpence at Chichester Festival Theatre. A West End transfer to the Noël Coward Theatre immediately followed, with Charlie's breakout starring performance garnering unprecedented critical acclaim.
For his performance, Charlie was nominated for the 2017 Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical, the 2017 Carl Alan Performer's Award, the 2016 UK Theatre Award for Best Performance in a Musical, and he won the 2017 WhatsOnStage Award for Best Actor in a Musical.
Charlie starred as Dick in the Olivier Award-winning Dick Whittington at the London Palladium, returning to the Palladium one year on as Prince in Snow White.
He made his Broadway debut as Barnaby Tucker in Hello, Dolly! (Shubert Theater, New York) opposite Bette Midler and Bernadette Peters. For his performance, Charlie was awarded the 2018 Theatre World Award for Outstanding Broadway Debut.
Most recently, he starred as Dvornichek in the UK tour of Tom Stoppard's Rough Crossing.

Review: DRACULA, A COMEDY OF TERRORS, Menier Chocolate Factory Photo
Review: DRACULA, A COMEDY OF TERRORS, Menier Chocolate Factory
by Cindy Marcolina - Mar 18, 2025

Vampires have always had that sexy je ne sais quoi. Whether they have ever been this sexy and this funny at the same time is a different question. Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen give Bram Stoker a run for his money with their sensational adaptation of the most famous of blood-suckers. Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors instantly went viral on TikTok when it ran Off-Broadway, ranking up over seven million views for a single snippet of their trailer. This is the lovechild of Mel Brooks and Monty Python, a side-splitting, rib-tickling, neck-biting, hysterically racy show. Charlie Stemp, Dianne Pilkington, Safeena Ladha, and Sebastien Torkia join James Daly, who reprises his role to introduce a pansexual count who’s been alive too long to care about social niceties. You’ll be screaming in laughter.
