15th Season Opens With Stage and Screen Star Matthew Morrison

Bay Area Cabaret opens its 15th season with Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe award-nominee Matthew Morrison making his San Francisco solo concert debut Sunday, September 30 at 7 pm in Song and Dance Man, a show celebrating his 20 years on stage and screen (Glee, Hairspray, South Pacific, Finding Neverland).

A native of Northern California, Morrison is best known as 'Mr. Schuester,' the director of the glee club in Fox's musical comedy series Glee, which received the Golden Globe award for Best Television Series-Comedy or Musical-in 2010 and 2011. Recently, Morrison received two Drama Desk nominations for his starring role as "J.M. Barrie" in the Broadway musical Finding Neverland. He made his debut on Broadway in Footloose, but his big break came when he was cast as heartthrob 'Link Larkin' in the hit musical Hairspray. Morrison was later nominated for a Tony Award for his role in The Light in the Piazza, earned a Drama Desk Nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Musical for 10 Million Miles and gave a compelling performance in Lincoln Center's Tony-winning revival of South Pacific. On PBS, Morrison hosted and narrated the special entitled Oscar Hammerstein II-Out of My Dreams, which focused on the Broadway producer's life and career. Morrison starred with Cameron Diaz in the film What to Expect When You're Expecting, and guest starred in The Good Wife and Grey's Anatomy. His latest studio album, Where It All Began, is a tribute to Broadway.

Tickets to Matthew Morrison Song and Dance Man are $125/$95 subscribers with no food or drink minimum required, and a limited number of opening night after party tickets on sale to attendees for $50 each.
