In January 2014, it was announced that Colley would play the role of Gavroche in the Broadway revival of Les Misérables, alternating in that role with Gaten Matarazzo.[2] Colley started with the show when it began previews on March 1, 2014 and performed until March 1, 2015.[3] The Huffington Post called Colley's performance "'grounded and believable and anything but an outtake from Oliver!"[4]

In 2014, Colley was cast as the voice of Pig Robinson in the Nick Jr. animated television show Peter Rabbit. He voiced the role from 2014 to 2015.[5][6]

Colley played the lead role in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown at the York Theater Company from May 24, 2016 to June 26, 2016.[7] The cast album was released on November 18, 2016 by Broadway Records.[8]
