Mattthew Morrison at The Bushnell

Last night I went to see Matthew Morrison at The Bushnell in Hartford – once again a Wednesday night show.  Originally his show was called “Rhythms & Revelations” but it ended up being changed to “Show Up” but as far as I could tell it was the same show – the one that was getting him dragged on the internet due to his inclusion of the 9/11 attacks within the show.  The show was essentially Matthew’s life story intertwined with the music that came along the way – showcasing Matthew’s talents singing, dancing and being a showman.  In between each of the songs he would tell stories about his life that were relevant to whatever the next song was with the main theme being that your dreams and wishes should not be kept inside and that they are more likely to come true if others know about them and can help you with them.  He talked about his time in Footloose, not sure if he’d be the choice for Link in Hairspray of if he’d end up back in the ensemble, singing in Italian, all the fame that came with being on Glee, being in Finding Neverland and finished his set out with giving it his all singing and dancing to Hairspray’s You Can’t Stop the Beat.  He came out for an encore of… The Thong Song? Tell Me Something Good and Don’t Stop Beleiving.

After the show we were able to attend a Meet and Greet where I asked him what his dream Broadway role would be and he said it would be something that’s not written yet – he likes to originate roles but it would be something dark, possibly along the lines of Sondheim’s Assassin.

My only disappointment? No mention of his time in the boyband LMNT. 😂😂😂
