He was a featured actor in Elementary Season 3 in “Solve for X," where he played Cyrus Nauer - a brilliant college professor who was murdered.

Following that, Annmarie is grateful and ecstatic to now be back on stage dancing in this dazzling rendition of All Shook Up.

is grateful for his Royal Star Theatre debut as Gus in the musical All Shook Up. A musical where everyone is Elvis and also no one is Elvis. I guess that's what Elvis meant when he said, 'No Woman No Cry' in his hit song, 'Folsom Prison Blues,’ written by Johnny Mash. Speaking of Johnny Mash, Matt played the roles of Bert, Sebastian, and La Fou! Matthew would like to thank Director Montoni, court, nobles, aristocrats, and bright celestial bodies of Royal Star Theatre. And most of all thank his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the opportunity!
