Matt McGrath is a Legend

Just saw the closing performance of STEVE and I loved it. There were some problem areas with the script (I felt like any scene Carrie was in was underwritten in a way, as if the playwright wasn't sure how to make a woman funny). But the standout for me was McGrath. I just love all of his choices and interesting takes on things. I saw him Georgia McBride downtown and found him to be a revelation. I hope he continues to get more work, and was astounded to see he's only been on Broadway in two shows. Someone get this man a comedy! I think his character in Georgia McBride needs a spin off of her own.

^ It is. Matt appeared in Peter Pan on Broadway and on tour in the early 1980s, with Sandy Duncan and George Rose.

Ad he was the EMCEE in Cabaret, for which I'm sure he was incredible.

But I just want to see him do a new role on Broadway.

Yeah, he was great in both Georgia and Steve... sad I never saw his Hedwig.

He's got something else in the works! In fact, two things. I asked him how he would be able to do both, and he gave me a wink so he's not too worried about it. I couldn't be happier about his much-too-longtime -coming recognition.

I though Matt McGrath was Michael McGrath.

For those who remember Boys Don't Cry, Matt had a small role as Brandon's uncle whom he had lived with for a while.
