Reviews
- Perfect Balance of Commentary, History, and Humor
Matt’s reviews showed up on my Instagram feed a year or so ago, and I always found his perspective honest and accurate; eventually, I succumbed and decided to listen to one of his podcasts, and I’m so glad I did. While most episodes clock in at well over three hours, I have found each to be a terrific balance of commentary, history, and humor. I worked in Broadway theater for two years out of college about two decades ago, and Matt’s knowledge of the industry is entirely reminiscent of my experi... more

United Statesa month ago - Review from a Suburban Mom
I stumbled across this podcast over the summer while trying to figure out why Lempicka was getting critically shredded while my kids couldn’t stop singing along—say what you will, the songs are total bops :). We’re a casual theater-going family, making it to 2-3 shows a year, so plenty of the references in Broadway Breakdown fly right over my head. But that doesn’t stop me from enjoying Matt’s sharp and insightful takes! His reviews have helped us discern what shows are up our alley (or at least... more
Apple Podcasts5bmichelle_3United Statesa month ago - The Best Around!
Matt’s saucy (but fair) podcast is my favorite Broadway podcast go-to. I see most musicals each season, and I like that his reviews corroborate much of what I’m thinking in a more articulate manner. His humor, insight, and knowledge work together to present a kitchen-table, conversational podcast that flies by, even during longer episodes. When he wraps up, I inevitably look at my watch, surprised that time flew by. Bravo to him! Best find of my podcast listening experience!

Apple Podcasts5So gay, I love itUnited States2 months ago - Just fabulous
I live far, far away from NYC and Broadway and am a passionate theater lover. The history and knowledge that Matt shares on this show makes me feel like I am connected to the beating heart of theater. His opinions and thoughts, whether I agree with them or not, are well-reasoned and based around trying to make a piece as good as it can try to be. Listening to reviews of shows he’s seen makes me feel like I have access to what’s happening in the theater scene and that is worth its weight unfold! ... more
