Broadway Stars return home to raise their Voices of Hope!
Matt DeAngelis and Christine Dwyer join Voices of Hope for a night of Myth, Magic & Mystery!

This fall step into a world where dreams take flight, masks are lifted, and the extraordinary is just a heartbeat away. Voices of Hope invites you to their highly anticipated annual fall gala, MYTH, MAGIC & MYSTERY, an evening brimming with spellbinding performances, heart-stirring stories, and dazzling surprises — all to benefit the Mass General Cancer Center.
From the moment the theatre lights come up, you’ll be transported into “Pure Imagination”, where mythical heroes, magical illusions, and mysterious encounters fill the stage. You’ll waltz through the shimmering grandeur of “Masquerade”, peek behind the “Facade” of appearances, and discover that “Everybody’s Gotta Be Somewhere” — sometimes in the most unexpected of places.
Be amazed as the cast conjures theatrical magic with “Abracadabra”, transforms underdogs into legends in “Zero to Hero”, and ventures “Deep in the Darkest Night” in search of hope’s flicker. This is a journey toward “Happily Ever After”, all while “Dancing Through Life” and “Defying Gravity” in the face of challenges.Expect the sparkle of “Razzle Dazzle”, the determination to “Go the Distance”, the yearning in “Wait for Me”, and the goosebump-inducing chills of “Superstition”. Feel the thrill as the performers declare “I Put a Spell on You”, inspiring the audience to “Come Alive” with courage and compassion.
Adding to the excitement, the Gala will feature Broadway power couple Matt DeAngelis and Christine Dwyer. Both hailing from Boston’s North Shore and married in 2018, Matt and Christine have more than 3,000 performances between them on Broadway and Broadway national tours.
Both hailing from Boston’s North Shore, Christine and Matt, who recently starred in Waitress earlier this year at North Shore Music Theatre, started crossing paths professionally in NYC in 2010. They finally connected as friends in 2015. They soon realized they grew up just minutes from each other. They knew the same families, attended the same pre-school, and even went to the same parties without ever knowing each other. Married since 2018, the talented duo has toured together in Waitress and often performs together in concerts around the country and the world.
They co-own and operate The Working Studio, teaching contemporary techniques to the new generation of musical theater. They are also still connected to the North Shore as the official acting coaches of the Noel Smith Voice Studio in Lynnfield.
Christine Dwyer, a Lynnfield native, found her love of live theatre while attending shows with her mother at North Shore Music Theatre in the ‘90s. Christine has marked more than 1,000 performances as Elphaba in the smash hit musical Wicked, both on Broadway and touring across the United States. She has also been seen in the National Tours of RENT (Maureen), Finding Neverland (Sylvia), and Waitress (Jenna), as well as on the NBC Live version of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Boxford native Matt DeAngelis is returning to the North Shore Music Theatre stage having performed as a Turkey Boy in the 1994 production of A Christmas Carol. Matt has been seen on Broadway in Hair (Woof), Waitress (Earl) and in the ensemble of the recent Broadway production of Swept Away. He has also been seen touring nationally and internationally in productions of Waitress (Earl), Hair (Woof), American Idiot and Once (Svec) and can be seen in the stage production of Waitress starring Sara Bareilles currently streaming on HBO MAX.
So join us for this unforgettable night of wonder, joy, and unity — where every ticket sold and every dollar raised brings us closer to a world without cancer and you too will believe that the impossible IS possible!!!
