Following Next to Normal's closing, Chanler-Berat was cast in the role of Boy (Peter) in the Off-Broadway play Peter and the Starcatcher, based on the book of the same name. The show transferred to Broadway in early 2012, and he remained with the production until its closing during the January of the next year.
After Peter and the Starcatcher, Chanler-Berat participated in a number of Regional and Off-Broadway productions, including Fly By Night as Harold McClam, The Fortress of Solitude as Dylan Ebdus, Sunday in the Park with George as Georges Seurat, and Amélie as Nino, the latter of which transferred to Broadway in 2017.
In 2018, Chanler-Berat starred on Broadway in the play Saint Joan as the Dauphin, Charles VII.
Beginning in 2021, he starred in a limited run Off-Broadway revival of Assassins by Classic Stage Company. The production was directed by John Doyle.

Originally scheduled to play from April 2 to May 17, 2020, it eventually ran from November 2, 2021 to January 24, 2022. The production was nominated for a number of awards at the 2022 Lucille Lortel Awards, including Best Revival.
