Matthew Harvey is a British musical theatre composer & performer.

Performances include Les Miserables, Jesus Christ Superstar, Violet and Murder Ballad.
Matthew began writing musical theatre during the pandemic, working closely with the London Musical Theatre Orchestra to record a concept album of Starcrossed, a musical based on a popular rom-com. From this, Matthew was approached by The Barn Theatre to become an Associate Artist and write Now Or Never, a song cycle inspired by the theatre industry’s resilience during lockdown.

Now Or Never was filmed & streamed completely live in a single continuous take, thanks to the ingenuity of Matthew’s friend and collaborator director Ryan Carter.

The Stage wrote: “the songs that comprise it are a wonderful calling card for Harvey. He has the knack for telling a story succinctly and deftly within a song and setting it to memorable melodies.”

In August 2024, Matthew’s original musical Unbound was performed by British Youth Music Theatre at Birmingham Hippodrome as part of their 20th anniversary season. Following its premiere, a sold out concert version of Unbound was performed at Hoxton Hall in October of the same year featuring a West End cast including Courtney Stapleton, Lauren Byrne, Evelyn Hoskins and Jodie Jacobs.
