Wait... Matt K who?

Matt grew up in Livonia, Michigan, where he got his start in acting in his high school's creative and performing arts program (CAPA). He received his B.F.A. in Music Theatre Performance at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo Michigan (yes it's a real place).

 

Now based in NYC, Matt spent the past **** years performing and directing all around the country. He made his Off-Broadway debut in 2017 at Emcee Super Mario in The Video Games at the Elektra Theatre (which is now a Smashburger)

 

More notably, Matt made his National Tour Debut in 2022 in Tootsie the Comedy Musical and his cruise ship debut in the Inaugural production of Beetlejuice on Norwegian Cruise Line.  In May of 2024, Matt left the sea behind and joined the 1st National Tour of Beetlejuice which lead him to making his BROADWAY DEBUT on October 8th 2025.

 

Matt is also a Director and Designer. He has worked around the country and has assisted director David Alpert for the Arts for Autism Broadway Benefit concert at the Gershwin Theater. When he’s not on stage, he’s wishing he's on the beach with a drink in hand... but aren't we all?

"Matt Kurzyniec was hilarious with spot-on comic delivery as best friend Jeff Slater..."

-Kathi Scrizzi Driscoll, Cape Cod Times

Things explode as Jeff, played by Matt Kurzyniec, zips into the scene with exquisite timing and ironic delivery."

-Len Fonte, Syracuse.com

"If this show was based on another board game, Matt Kurzyniec would own Park Place and Boardwalk and would be passing go and collecting hundreds of dollars... this is his show to steal and he does."

-Shane Riggs, Allegany Magazine

"Kurzyniec especially revels in the undeservedly over-confident and over-the-top vulgar schlub. Spending much of the show in a wheelchair... the upper half of his body performs more adroitly than some hoofers."

The fourth wall was broken quite a bit last night by the man in the titular role, Matt Kurzyniec. Kurzyniec is a powerhouse performer, blessed with a great voice, full of gregarious energy, replete with witty comebacks to all hecklers! A Detroit native and Western Michigan Grad, Kurzyniec has many Broadway and National Tour creds.
