He made his Broadway debut as Barnaby Tucker in Hello, Dolly! (Shubert Theater, New York) opposite Bette Midler and Bernadette Peters. For his performance, Charlie was awarded the 2018 Theatre World Award for Outstanding Broadway Debut.

Most recently, he starred as Dvornichek in the UK tour of Tom Stoppard's Rough Crossing.
