Career

Madsen made his Sydney theatre debut as Jason "J.D." Dean in the Australian premiere of Heathers: The Musical at the Hayes Theatre in 2015.[3] That same year, he portrayed Mark Cohen in Rent; also at the Hayes Theatre.[4]

In 2016, Madsen returned to the role of Jason Dean for a national tour of Heathers: The Musical at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Arts Centre Melbourne, and the Sydney Opera House.[5][6][7] He subsequently appeared in Sport For Jove Theatre Company's production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at the Seymour Centre, Sydney.[8]

He returned to the Hayes Theatre in 2018 as Patrick in the Australian premiere of The View Upstairs.[11] Later that year, he portrayed Alan in Darlinghurst Theatre Company's production of Torch Song Trilogy at The Eternity Playhouse.[12]

Madsen was due to perform in the first major Australian production of Sarah Kane's Cleansed in 2021 but the show was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
