Wait... Matt K who?

Matt grew up in Livonia, Michigan, where he got his start in acting in high school's creative and performing arts program (CAPA). He spent a couple of years at Central Michigan University before finishing up his B.F.A. in Music Theatre Performance at Western Michigan University.

 

Now based in NYC, he’s worked Off-Broadway shows and regional theaters around the world. More notably, Matt has been touring the country in the National of Tootsie and around the Caribbean and Mediterranean in Norwegian Cruise Line's production of Beetlejuice. In May of 2024, Matt has joined the 1st National Tour of Beetlejuice which has lead him to making his BROADWAY DEBUT on October 8th 2025.

 

On top of acting, he loves directing and has worked on many productions, as well as assisting director David Alpert for the Arts for Autism Broadway Benefit concert. When he’s not on stage, he’s bartending at SIX the Musical and is a big dog lover who knows all about Universal Studios!

"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.
