The 27-year-old trained with Stageworx from the age of five to 17 before securing a scholarship in the US.
Former Stirling High School pupil Elliot said:“More than 150 actors auditioned for the role of Guy. It was an intense period but I’m truly over the moon on securing the role.”
Elliot has also performed roles in Miss Saigon, Held Momentarily and Edward II, as well as writing songs with singer songwriter Byron Isaacs.
His dad David said this week:“We’re absolutely delighted that he has secured this‘Once’in a lifetime role.”
“Elliot has worked extremely hard to forge out a career in one of the toughest cities imaginable, but hard work is truly beginning to pay off.
“It’s great that Stirling has a young local lad making good in NYC and shows Stageworx are one of the leading providers of musical theatre in central Scotland.”
