Gerard Canonico
Gerard Canonico (born July 23, 1989) is an American actor and singer, best known for his roles in Broadway and off-Broadway musicals, including Gavroche in Les Misérables and Rich Goranski in Be More Chill. He appeared in the films Not Fade Away (2012) and Stuck (2017).
A native of New Jersey, Canonico has been performing since he was six years old. While first interested in modeling, he decided that modeling was boring and his mother suggested acting instead. He has been a musician since he was 10 years old, starting with voice and moving on to drums and guitar. Both his parents are musicians and his father is a music teacher. A resident of Matawan, Canonico attended Mater Dei High School. In 2023, he married fellow actor and musician Devon Meddock.
His first Broadway performance was in 1999, playing Gavroche in the musical Les Misérables. He played the role for a year and a half before leaving to do A Christmas Carol at Madison Square Garden in 2000 & 2001, playing the role of Jonathan.
In 2001, Canonico joined the national tour of Casper the Musical, performing alongside Chita Rivera, in Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Atlanta, and Dallas.
In 2002, Canonico portrayed Louis in The King and I at the Paper Mill Playhouse.
While he was still performing in Les Misérables he participated in readings for the off-Broadway musical The Prince and the Pauper at the Lamb's Theatre. He played the Pauper Tom Canty at the show's opening and for several months until he was thought to have grown out of the role. In 2004, Canonico played Brett in the off-Broadway musical Children's Letters to God, also at the Lamb's Theatre.
Canonico performed as an ensemble member and as an understudy for all male roles (excluding Melchior Gabor) in the Broadway musical Spring Awakening, which opened on November 10, 2006, at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. He took over the role of Moritz from August 4, 2008, until the show closed on January 18, 2009.
