Here's a description of Matthew's brand new show SHOW UP in his own words: Step into a world where music and dance become more than just entertainment—they become a journey into the heart of what makes us human.

Welcome to SHOW UP — a car wash for your soul. In this show, I'm not just here to perform; I'm here to spark something within you. I want you to leave with a sense of inquiry, curiosity, and wonder about your own life. Many concerts entertain, but I invite you to take a closer look inside. To see the beating heart of music and dance, not just as art forms but as reflections of our deepest selves. This show comes from my heart—it's a piece of my soul laid bare. I'm stepping outside of all the characters I've played, shedding every mask, and diving deep into my authenticity and vulnerability.

Matthew Morrison is a versatile actor who is recognized for his work on-stage and on-screen. He has been nominated for Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe Awards.

The show was created by Ryan Murphy and received the Golden Globe Award “Best Television Series – Comedy or Musical” in 2010 and 2011. Morrison was also nominated for Best Actor those years.

Morrison has many other iconic roles on TV/Film, but most notably on the hit CBS show “The Good Wife,” where he played the role of U.S. Attorney, Conor Fox, through the series finale, and as Paul Stadler throughout Season 13 and 14 of ABC's “Grey's Anatomy.”
