This spring PSU fans have a chance to see PSU alumnus, Matthew Hydzik, light up Broadway as the lead in the revival of West Side Story. Matthew graduated from Quaker Valley HS in Sewickley and went on to pursue musical theater studies at PSU. He became one of six graduates of the class of 2005. He was fortunate to secure roles in Grease, Rent, and Fame. After understudying the role of Tony since February, Matthew assumed the lead on December 15, 2009. We will certainly let him know that we are in the audience and try to get him to greet us before or after the show!

Bus will arrive at the Palace Theater at 1:45 p.m. for the 2:00 p.m. matinee. Departure from NYC back to Allentown will occur immediately following the end of the show.
