On this episode I talked with Matt about how participating in a mock trial in middle school played a part in why he got into performing on stage, how growing up he worked to become a well-rounded performer, what he finds so special about participating in regional theatre shows, his National Tour Debut (The Magic Treehouse Musical), joining the national tour of Beautiful, the process of learning four different parts in one show, his Broadway debut in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, his favorite Carole King song, what made him want to audition for Jersey Boys on tour, his audition process, what goes into making the roles he plays in musicals about real life people his own while also making sure to sticking to the story he’s telling on stage, how he keeps his performance fresh when performing in the same show 8 times a week, why people should come see Jersey Boys on tour, and MUCH MORE!
