Matt is currently producing the Tony Award-Winning musical Memphis on Broadway, and New York’s newest hit family show, The Berenstain Bears LIVE! in Family Matters, the Musical. After a 35-week national tour, the critically-acclaimed production of The Berenstain Bears LIVE! has landed in NYC for an extended stay Off-Broadway. Matt recently produced the Broadway productions of Thurgood, starring Laurence Fishburne who was nominated for a Tony Award for his stellar performance, and the new play by Michael Jacobs entitled Impressionism, starring Joan Allen and Jeremy Irons. Matt’s producing debut in New York was the Off-Broadway hit Altar Boyz, which became one of the longest-running Off-Broadway musicals in history during its remarkable 5-year run at New World Stages. In addition to his work on Broadway and Off-Broadway, Matt is also currently producing a successful touring production of an original musical for today’s texting, blogging, and Facebooking generation called Virtually Me!, which was recently profiled on Fox News and My9 News for its efforts to educate students about the increasingly challenging issue of cyber-bullying. Matt is the founder and president of Marquee Merchandise LLC, which creates and manages the sales of merchandise for several Broadway and Off-Broadway shows here in New York and around the country.
