Career
Harrington began his career on stage in 2005 with the Cincinnati Ballet. There he performed in The Nutcracker in 2005 and portrayed Michael Darling in Peter Pan for the 2008–2009 season.
The Broadway debut for Harrington came in November 2007 with the revival of How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. The production was able to re-open, after closing for two weeks in November, despite the stagehands' strike. The show was able to reopen due to its limited holiday run.{{cite web|title=UPDATE: Grinch Will Reopen at the St. James Theatre Nov. 23|url=http://www.playbill.com/news/article/112995-UPDATE-Grinch-Will-Reopen-at-the-St-James-Theatre-Nov-23|accessdate=March 3, 2012|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120927021253/http://www.playbill.com/news/article/112995-UPDATE-Grinch-Will-Reopen-at-the-St-James-Theatre-Nov-23|archivedate=September 27, 2012}}{{cite web|title=Grinch Returns to Broadway Despite Strike|url=http://www.newser.com/story/12451/grinch-returns-to-broadway-despite-strike.html|accessdate=March 3, 2012}}
