People behind the production
Hershey Felder’s Maestro: The Art Of Leonard Bernstein is a distinctive biographical musical theatre piece performed solo at the piano. Felder weaves a rich narrative of Leonard Bernstein’s life and works into an evening of storytelling and virtuosic piano playing, pairing Bernstein’s iconic music with pieces by Beethoven, Wagner, Mahler, Copland, and more. The show has its roots in a 2010–2011 world premiere run with Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles, followed by a celebrated Off-Broadway engagement at 59E59 Theaters in New York from August 2016 through October 2016. Felder’s work in this realm has earned critical acclaim and industry recognition, including listings among Time Magazine’s 2016 Top 10 Plays and Musicals and multiple LA Ovation Award nominations and wins across related projects.
