Trevor The Musical IS streaming NOW
exclusively on Disney+!
“Trevor’s producers added, ‘Playing Trevor is an enormous undertaking for any performer. Holden embodies all of the many facets of our show’s leading character, along with the dedication and determination to shine. We are thrilled to know we have found our Trevor and can’t wait for the theater world to meet him.”
Holden was born and raised in Sugar Land, Texas. He was bitten by the musical theater bug at the age of 8, performing in 30 productions for the local community. He was thrilled to find work during the pandemic, performing in the virtual production Kris Kringle the Musical in 2020 and making his Off-Broadway debut in Trevor : A New Musical in 2021. When not performing, Holden loves to travel, ride rollercoasters, and play on his X Box.
“…the lovability of both the Trevor character and the remarkable young actor, Holden William Hagelberger, who plays him.”

“That message doesn’t come easy for the theater-loving, Diana Ross-worshipping Trevor (superb 13-year-old actor Holden William Hagelberger).”
“Hagelberger makes a commendable Off-Broadway debut as the show’s central character, exuding a natural, effervescent energy that appropriately diminishes as Trevor questions his identity amid school bullies.”
“‘Trevor: The Musical’ glimmers because of 13-year-old Holden William Hagelberger, who sparks a connection with the audience with his longing, the inexhaustible rushes of self-confidence, his comedic timing, and his anguish.”
“Hagelberger, who plays Trevor, is himself an example of perseverance and hard work in forging an individual path. Hagelberger is from Sugarland, Texas, far from New York City’s rich theater scene. He was cast in the role of Trevor in Trevor: The Musical following a long process that included a national virtual casting call, which received over 1300 submissions.”
“The talented young company is led by thirteen-year-old phenomenon Holden William Hagelberger, making his Off-Broadway debut in the titular role. He is thoroughly lovable and engaging, bringing both the laughs and concerns with sparkling enthusiasm and spot-on emotions through his prodigious acting and vocals, and hilarious moves.”
“Hagelberger, happily, is a plucky delight.”
“Between the virtual open call, agent and manager submissions, extensive outreach, and Casting’s vast files that have been expanding since the very first Trevor: The Musical workshop 6 years ago, we probably saw close to 2000 kids for the show, and hundreds strictly for the title role. We knew we were looking for a purple unicorn. That somehow this beautiful, extraordinarily talented boy found his way to us against all odds is beyond thrilling.”
