Hayden is back at the ZACH in ATX, this time for their production of BEAUTIFUL.

He is having a wonderful time, in the company of incredible artists, exploring the iconic story of Carole King. 

Gerry Goffin's character in this show has a variety of highs and lows, and the process of defining these moments has been a challenging but rewarding experience. 

Hayden is very excited to share this special slice-of-life show with audiences in Texas. Carole King's story, particularly these early years in her career, is fascinating and inspiring (to say the least). And her relationship with Gerry - while at times heart-breaking and marred with difficulties - is truly something beautiful.

Time to switch gears and don a pair of shnazzy black tux shoes in this wild and wacky production of NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT at the Coachella Valley Rep theatre, just outside of Palm Springs. 

Every day of this show, since the first preview audience, has been a shot of high-energy joy and laughter to the system. Jimmy Winter may have a poor, often drunken sense of judgement - to say the least - but his journey of learning to open his heart and mind, and jab some witty one-liners along the way, has been a gift to explore.

Hayden has spent the beginning of the year in Austin at the ZACH Theatre, portraying three different characters (Andre Bolkonsky, Old Prince Bolksonky, Balaga) in their production of NATASHA, PIERRE, AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812. It has been a fulfilling and challenging experience so far, and a wonderfully engaging theatrical experience given its immersive quality.

This show first fascinated Hayden when he saw it on Broadway in 2016, so to be able to work on this vibrant and gritty show has been a dream come true.

** I was just nominated for a B. Iden. Payne award for "Outstanding Featured Performer in a Musical"! Thank you BIPAC for your nomination, and congratulations to all the ATX Theatre nominees.

Hayden returns to the Arrow Rock Lyceum Theatre in Arrow Rock, MO for their annual production of Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

He'll be playing Fred, Uncle Scrooge's nephew, where he hopes to convince his Uncle that "There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour".

This heart-warming and timeless classic is a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit.

"You ready to party? It won't be late. Let's get it started, 'coz we just can't wait!"

These Welcome Aboard party lyrics says it all; Hayden is ready to sail and celebrate again with Mickey and the gang!

This time, he's heading to new ports of call, and performing new roles like Hans in Frozen, Prince Charming in Disney Dreams, and Flynn Rider in The Golden Mickeys. 

He's most looking forward to performing near the sunny beaches of Oahu, and the snowy mountains of Juneau. Book your next Disney Vacation aboard the Wonder this summer! See you real soon.

Though the Pandemic forced Hayden's DCL contract to an unexpected early close, it eventually led him to spend some quality time back in his homeland of Australia.

During his time there, he was fortunate enough to perform in the Adelaide Fringe Festival, as part of the original and well-received new murder mystery play "Parlour Games". Neale Irwin's play is an "absorbent mixture of comedy and theatre, the story follows an Agatha Christie murder mystery novel book signing and the series of events that follow".

What a joy it was to collaborate with this brilliant ensemble, and help conjure some hilarious mystery. Be sure to keep your eyes on the upcoming works of Neale Irwin and the GreenGuys Company!

Hayden will be hanging out with a variety of characters aboard the Disney Dream until September! If you're planning a summer vacation, consider sailing with Disney, and maybe you'll see him with some of your favorite characters, like Flynn Rider and Lumiere

Today, Match the Musical went live! Described by Match, this new commercial is "a tale of modern romance and how finding the right someone just makes you want to sing!". Check out this original musical film by Movers+Shakers (http://MoversShakers.co/).
