BIO

Fraser has performed in a number of West End productions and played Gareth in the Doctor Who episode "Army of Ghosts" (2006).



In 2009, Fraser played the recurring role of Reed in The Fresh Beat Band season 1; in the last 2 seasons, he was replaced by Patrick Levis. In May 2010, he returned to the West End to play the role of El Gallo in The Fantasticks.

In October 2010, Fraser sang the Les Misérables role of Grantaire in the 25th Anniversary concert in the West End.

On 23 June 2011, Fraser returned to the West End production of Les Misérables, this time to play the role of Javert. He received critical acclaim for the role and remained with the show until June 2012.

On 1 and 2 October 2011, Fraser played Raoul in the 25th anniversary staging of The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall in London. He appeared alongside Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess, who played the Phantom and Christine respectively. Fraser also co-starred with Karimloo in the 25th Anniversary concert of Les Misérables and they both made their West End debuts in the show in 2002 where Karimloo understudied Fraser. Hadley has written music for a band called "Sheytoons" with Karimloo, including "Heading West" and "Driftwood".

Fraser appeared in the film adaptation of Les Misérables as the Army General of the National Guard.

In 2012, Fraser sang "Beyond the Door" on the concept album for The In-Between, as the character of Calicus.

Fraser appeared with Tom Hiddleston in the Donmar Warehouse's production of Coriolanus from 6 December 2013 to 13 February 2014.

In December 2014, he returned to the Donmar Warehouse to play Stine in City of Angels, alongside his wife Rosalie Craig as Gabby/Bobbi and Samantha Barks as Mallory/Avril.

An avid musician as well, Fraser can be heard on Scott Alan's releases Keys and Scott Alan LIVE, as well as his own EP, "Just Let Go", released in August 2014 via social media and digital download (no hardcopy has been released).

He was the co-lyricist and co-book writer (with Josie Rourke) for the verbatim musical Committee... (full title The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee Takes Oral Evidence on Whitehall's Relationship with Kids Company) with music by Tom Deering, which premiered at the Donmar Warehouse from 23 June to 12 August 2017.

He played Frederick Frankenstein in the UK premiere of the musical Young Frankenstein in August 2017, at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End, following a tryout run at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle. In May 2019, he played Billy Bigelow in a concert of Carousel.

In 2022, he received high praise for his performance as Anatoly Sergeivesky in a West End concert run of Chess. He also played Archibald Craven in a concert of The Secret Garden opposite Mark Feehily as his brother Neville.

In 2024, Fraser played the role of Manny in the new musical Opening Night at the Gielgud Theatre in London's West End. On 4 June 2024, it was announced that Dirty Rotten Scoundrels would return to the West End for a concert run at the London Palladium on 24 November 2024, marking 20 years since the show premiered. Fraser is set to star as Lawrence Jamieson opposite Ramin Karimloo as Freddy Benson.

In 2025, Fraser played the role of the Good King in the live-action remake, Snow White.

Hadley Fraser Takes The Stage At Cadogan Hall
by Cindy Marcolina - Jun 16, 2025

“We’ll do the raffle in about half an hour, but first we’ll play a few songs if that’s alright?” One foot on stage and the mood is set. What would ensue is over two hours and a half of spitfire banter and fire tunes. It’s rare for performers to be found anywhere on nights when their theatres are dark, but Fraser took over Cadogan Hall for a rare solo concert whilst off from his West End run of The Deep Blue Sea. It was the “delayed launch gig” that he teased when we spoke to him in February. Self-effacing from the get-go, he went on to sing prime choices from all three studio recordings of his, noticing leitmotifs in the themes and delighting the audience with surprise guests.
