Devin Tyler Hatch is an up-and-coming New York choreographer and performer, currently appearing in The Outsiders on Broadway. Making his New York City choreography debut, he is looking forward to continuing working on the creative side. Devin has recently toured with Hamilton as a dance captain and was the associate choreographer for Dreamgirls at The Muny in 2024.
Because he has served as an assistant/associate on many of his shows, Devin didn’t go to school for the arts; instead, he had the privilege of learning on the job. He has learned from some of the best: Andy Blankenbuehler, Stephanie Klemons, Rick and Jeff Kuperman, Robert Clater, Lesia Kaye, and Gina Menichino.
He has always wanted to be in the arts—since before he could remember why. So, naturally, during the pandemic, when everyone was out of work, he began creating his own work. He spent his savings and bought a video camera and a computer to start making his own projects. Devin started choreographing for himself and for his friends, who wrote music and needed music videos. That’s what started his passion for storytelling and collaboration.
