What happens when Broadway gets louder, heavier, and a whole lot more punk?

Matt Copley is about to show us!

The Michigan-based recording artist, theatrical producer, and creator behind the viral Broadway Does Punk series is taking the phenomenon from your screen to the stage for the first time ever! Copley has built a massive following by taking songs from shows like Wicked, The Phantom of the Opera, The Greatest Showman and more and completely reinventing them as full-throttle pop-punk and rock anthems. His interpretations have generated more than 16 million Spotify streams and hundreds of thousands of followers.

Now, Broadway Does Punk LIVE hits New York City’s Abrons Arts Center October 2–3 for a limited run featuring a full-band, full-production rock experience. As the show describes it: a stage built like a Broadway musical — and a Broadway musical built like a concert.

Matt joins The Roundtable with Robert Bannon to talk about turning Broadway favorites upside down, building Broadway Does Punk into a viral sensation, his rock roots, taking the project LIVE, and why musical theatre sounds pretty damn good with some distortion behind it!

If you love Broadway AND rock & roll, this one's for you.

[11:16] Matt Copley: I am so excited to be here! Broadway punk is a whole vibe, and I can't wait to dive into it with you.

[11:46] Matt Copley: It's really about taking those classic Broadway songs and giving them a fresh, punk rock twist.

[12:06] Matt Copley: The energy is just electric when you mix those two worlds together.

[12:26] Matt Copley: I mean, who doesn't love a good power chord with a Broadway ballad?

[12:46] Matt Copley: It's all about reinvention and making these songs feel new again.

[13:06] Matt Copley: The response has been incredible, and I think people are ready for something different in musical theatre.

[13:26] Matt Copley: I love seeing the audience's reaction when they hear these familiar tunes in a completely different style.

[13:46] Matt Copley: It’s like rediscovering a song you thought you knew inside and out.

[14:06] Matt Copley: And the musicians I get to work with are just phenomenal; they bring so much to the table.

[14:26] Matt Copley: We really create a full-band experience that feels like a concert, but with that Broadway flair.

[14:46] Matt Copley: I think it’s a celebration of both genres, and it’s just so much fun to perform.

[15:06] Matt Copley: The live show is going to be something special, with all the lights and the energy of a rock concert.

[15:26] Matt Copley: I want the audience to feel like they’re part of the experience, not just watching from their seats.

[15:46] Matt Copley: It’s about creating a community around this music and this art form.

[16:06] Matt Copley: I think that’s what makes Broadway punk so unique; it’s inclusive and welcoming.

[16:26] Matt Copley: Everyone can find something to connect with, whether they’re a die-hard punk fan or a Broadway lover.

[16:46] Matt Copley: And I’m just thrilled to be at the forefront of this movement.

[17:06] Matt Copley: It’s a dream come true to take this project live and share it with everyone.

[17:26] Matt Copley: I really believe that musical theatre can be loud and proud, and that’s what we’re doing.

[17:46] Matt Copley: So, get ready for a show that’s going to rock your socks off!
