Matt Windman is chief theater critic of amNewYork, a free daily New York City newspaper with the largest circulation in Manhattan. He first joined the paper in 2004 as a writer and became theater critic in July 2005.

He writes an official theater blog of Broadway and Off-Broadway news and reviews, theater interviews a weekly theater column, and performs streaming audio podcasts.

In June 2008, Windman predicted the highest number of Tony Awards of any journalist on Gold Derby.
