One of only three recipients in the United States to receive the Jerry Herman Legacy Award, Gelhaus completed two Equity tours in West Side Story and Grease before joining Royal Caribbean International as a principal vocalist, performing worldwide aboard the largest ship ever built at the time. He later spent three years in Las Vegas, originating and performing leading roles in multiple productions on and off the Strip. A highly movement-based performer, Gelhaus has also trained and worked with coaches affiliated with Cirque du Soleil, further informing his physical and psychological approach to character work. Professionally military and tactically trained, combined with hand-to-hand combat and stunt training, Gelhaus frequently performs his own stunts-joking that the number lands at a precise 94.5%. In addition to performing, Gelhaus is a private acting coach at his studio, House of Haus Studios, in North Hollywood, where he works with actors across stage, film, and television.
