Matthew Morrison, known for his standout role as Will Schuester on Glee, is a dynamic performer whose charisma and versatility have captivated audiences for years. With a background in musical theatre, Morrison effortlessly blends his impressive vocal talents with a strong acting presence, bringing depth and charm to his performances. Recognized for his work on-stage and on-screen, he has been nominated for Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe Awards.

Morrison describes his brand-new show, Rhythms & Revelations:

“Step into a world where music and dance become more than just entertainment—they become a journey into the heart of what makes us human. Welcome to Rhythms & Revelations—a car wash for your soul. In this show, I’m not just here to perform. I’m here to spark something within you. I want you to leave with a sense of inquiry, curiosity and wonder about your own life. Many concerts entertain, but I invite you to take a closer look inside, to see the beating heart of music and dance, not just as art forms but as reflections of our deepest selves. This show comes from my heart—it’s a piece of my soul laid bare. I’m stepping outside of all the characters I’ve played, shedding every mask and diving deep into my authenticity and vulnerability. In Rhythms & Revelations, I’m fully alive, and I want you to feel that aliveness too. Join me on this journey, and let’s explore the depths within us all.”

Morrison made his debut on Broadway in Footloose, but his big break came when he was cast as heartthrob Link Larkin in the hit Hairspray. Morrison was later nominated for a Tony Award for his role in The Light in the Piazza and received a Drama Desk Nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Musical for 10 Million Miles. He also starred in the Tony-winning revival of South Pacific at Lincoln Center Theater in New York and as J.M. Barrie in the musical Finding Neverland, for which he received two Drama Desk nominations and won the category of Favorite Actor in a Musical in the Broadway.com Audience Awards.

In addition to his Broadway tenure, Morrison is probably best known for starring in Fox’s musical comedy series Glee, where he played the director of the glee club, Mr. Schuester. The show was created by Ryan Murphy and received the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series–Comedy or Musical in 2010 and 2011. Morrison was also nominated for Best Actor those years.

Morrison has many other iconic roles on TV/film, but most notably on the hit CBS show The Good Wife, where he played the role of U.S. Attorney Conor Fox through the series finale, and as Paul Stadler throughout season 13 and 14 of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.

Morrison has released four studio albums. His debut, self-titled album through Mercury Records in 2011 featured an A-list lineup of guest artists, including Sting, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sir Elton John. His recent release, Where It All Began, is a Broadway-standards record that was produced by the legendary Phil Ramone.
