This seems more like an “I’ve had a rough year and need a change” decision. Just from following him on social media, the year has included a breakup with Clayton, a lost his dog and it doesn’t seem like things are really happening with his Sinatra musical. He also seems to be pretty angry about where our country is politically, so I could see him wanting a hard reset from it all. Hope he and the rest of the cast enjoy the experience.

I didn’t know he broke up with Max. How sad.

Re: SINATRA - they are currently reworking and workshopping some new things, but also holding auditions for a Fall 2025/Winter 2025-6 opening

Or maybe he has bills to pay like everybody else dos"

Right. Jorge is suggesting that Doyle has to go to Korea to pay his bills because there's too little work here. That's an endorsement of Jorge said. Was that your intention?

Also top billing and a paid vacation to South Korea so.

Just say y'all are old and don't get Jorge's joke and move on.

This is a great get for him and the rest of the cast, South Korea is definitely making a big push into the musical scene and it'll be interesting to see if we have more crossover in the future.

I'm curious though, I think in the past Korean productions have alternated two casts so are they no longer doing that for this production or is this just the "A cast"?"

I don't remeber people calling out the cameos.  I remember people commenting that Matt and Max overshared on social media on a daily if not hourly basis.  Certianly nothing wrong with taking this gig.  I can't imagine a extended stay in Korea is on top of a actors list.  But work is work.  I wish him well.  Hate the show.  Ugh.

You love deleting stuff don't you?  Why?  Leave people be.  Clayton did a interview on a podcast recently.  He talked about alot of this.  He overshared on social media and now he says it is no ones buisness.  LOL.  He also has a subscription alternative on instagram.. if you want to see more.

Seems like I wasn’t wrong. I feel for the guy: Matt Doyle on Going to Korea

Most Tony award winners don't see their careers change that radically after their wins. Doyle's constantly working and has a career that any working actor would be thrilled to have.
