Get to Know Tony Winner Matt Doyle with These 10 Fun Facts (Exclusive)

Matt Doyle had a huge 2022 – he won a Tony Award and then returned to the stage in a classic role!

The 35-year-old actor is currently playing the iconic role of Seymour in the off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors after winning a Tony for his work in the Company revival earlier this year.

Matt has also starred in Broadway shows like Spring Awakening, The Book of Mormon, War Horse, and Bye Bye Birdie. On screen, he has appeared in the original Gossip Girl series and CBS’ The Code.

We caught up with Matt to learn 10 Fun Facts that fans might not know about him already!

  1. I have 3 dogs and have to stop myself almost daily from adopting another one. 
  2. I made my Broadway debut when I was only 19, understudying Jonathan Groff in Spring Awakening. It was quite a crew with Lea Michele, John Gallagher Jr, Skylar Astin, Krysta Rodriguez…the list goes on! 
  3. I grew up on both the east and west coast, moving from Boston to San Francisco when I was 11 years old. 
  4. I’m a massive tech nerd. I build gaming PCs with custom liquid cooling loops and obsess over the latest gadgets. @isthatmattdoyle on TikTok 
  5. I’m a certified personal trainer. Around 2015, after my 4th Broadway show, I decided I didn’t like ‘claiming’ to know a lot about fitness, so I actually got certified and worked in the fitness industry as a trainer. I really enjoy confusing the hell out of people in terms of my interests.

Sutton Foster Wins Special Award for Best Performance of the Entire Broadway Season!

Sutton Foster just won one of the biggest honors in the Broadway community!

The two-time Tony-winning actress was presented the Distinguished Performance Award during the 2022 Drama League Awards on Friday afternoon (May 20) in New York City.

The annual awards show honors just one acting performance for the entire theatrical season, encompassing all of Broadway and off-Broadway.

Sutton won the award for her performance in The Music Man and her co-star Hugh Jackman received the Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theatre award. Actors can only win the Distinguished Performance Award once in their career and Hugh won almost 20 years ago for starring in Broadway’s The Boy From Oz, so he was ineligible for The Music Man.
