Catch up with Matt ahead of his upcoming concert with Seth Rudetsky!
Seeing your favorite Broadway stars live on a Broadway stage may not be a reality for a while, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy them live from your screen. BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge is keeping up with all of their latest projects on Backstage Live, bringing you in-depth interviews twice weekly.
Watch as he chats with Matt Doyle, who will soon join Seth Rudetsky for two very special concerts on Sunday, April 3 (3pm and 8pm).
"I was so honored when [Seth] asked me [to do the concert], because I haven't really done a virtual concert yet, which is strange. It's so hard over Zoom because of the sound issues... but I can't wait to do this set because I usually focus on my pop music," he explained. "Especially at venues like Joe's Pub, I don't do musical theatre."
So what can fans expect from this show? "It's the most musical theatre set I've ever done! I think it's the set that everyone has ever wanted me to do! [Laughs] It's so satisfying to go over music and sing songs from Hair, and the shows that have inspired me and that I've worked on."
