ABOUT MATTHEW
Matthew Reich is a dynamic, multi-talented performer with an undeniable passion for the stage. Trained in a variety of acting styles, with a strong passion for Shakespeare and classical texts, he has honed his craft through university training, private coaching, and countless hours on stage.
Acting is just one part of Matthew’s skillset, however. With powerhouse vocals and an impressive four-octave range, he’s best known for his electrifying rock tenor voice and his training in both wrestling and boxing have enhanced his work as a stage combat performer and choreographer.
When he's not performing on stage, Matthew loves to unwind by playing and composing music on both the guitar and piano. It’s his way of channeling his creativity and finding inspiration outside the spotlight.
Relentlessly dedicated and fiercely passionate, Matthew brings his all to every performance, because to him, performing is more than just a hobby, it’s the ultimate expression of who he is.
What's new with Matthew?
After spending the summer in Indiana performing in The Cottage and Xanadu at Red Barn Summer Theatre, Matthew is back for his senior year at Nebraska Wesleyan University where he will be seen in Witch and Anastasia.
REVIEWS
Matilda the Musical
"Matthew Reich grabbed my rapt attention as Agatha Trunchbull. Casting him in the role of the principal was genius. His size, his stage presence, his powerful voice makes for the most compelling character. If Trunchbull were not so atrocious, I would love this person simply because of his performance. He is a force to be reckoned with and is wildly funny at the same time"
Christine Swerczek, Broadwayworld
Pericles
"Matthew Reich (Pericles) is everything you could want in a protagonist; lively, energetic, and full of life."
Phillip Pearce, Monterey Herald
