About

Hi, I’m Gerry Symonds. I’m a performer, choreographer, dance captain and educator with a 40+ year career across major musical theatre productions in Australia, the UK, and internationally. I’ve held principal roles, originated cast positions, and collaborated with leading choreographers, shaping productions from the rehearsal room to the stage.

I also mentor emerging talent through workshops, auditions, and teaching, and I enjoy helping aspiring performers develop the skills, discipline, and confidence needed for successful careers in theatre.
