Thaxton, from Neath, is a former member of Welsh choir Only Men Aloud. He scooped the prestigious award in the category of Best Actor in a Musical, beating Alex Gaumond (Legally Blonde The Musical), Ramin Karimloo (Love Never Dies), Sahr Ngaujah (Fela!) and Michael Xavier (Love Story) to the prize.

His win follows on from the Welsh successes of last year's awards ceremony, when actors Aneurin Barnard and Iwan Rheon both won awards for their roles in musical Spring Awakening.
