Matt Raffy in Mythic

Greek tragedy never looked so good! Matt will play the roles of  Hades' right-hand man 'Alecto', Ferryman of the Dead souls 'Charon', and joins the Greek Chorus in the exciting North American Premiere of  pop/rock musical MYTHIC at the Segal Center.
 
"Each and every member of the ensemble is a star in the making, yet when they were all together on stage, as a Greek Chorus, they were perfectly in sync, moving as one. A multi-talented group of actors, featuring Matt Raffy"
"The choreography was stunning and I found myself taking the time to really look at each dancer. Whether it be a ballad or an uptempo, the ensemble was electric. Each movement spirited and specific." - BroadwayWorld.com


"The real motor of Mythic, however, may just be its Greek Chorus – a rock solid ensemble comprising the triple threat talents of Matt Raffy. The choreography is an indisputable highlight of this production and it is executed by the septet of artists with infectious energy and machinal precision."
"Youthful and heedful of 2019 sensibilities, there is Broadway potential here. " 
"Mythic is dynamite and divine fun" - Montreal Theatre Hub

"Epic entertainment. This is a big show that delivers a fun ride" - Curtains Up

"That's entertainment!' - Kinoculture Montreal
