Hershey Felder's portrayal of Leonard Bernstein was brilliant and believable. His talents as an actor and musician were melded into a memorable performance. The script provided insights into the life of a man who was musically talented and yet torn by his sexuality. By the end of the show, I felt as though I had actually met Maestro Bernstein.
The show itself is a universally enjoyable bio of of the late great Leonard Bernstein. Hershey Felder's performance and piano virtuosity are, in and of themselves, mind-boggling. Overall, it is an enjoyable show for anyone and everyone, but an absolute must see for any piano player or piano connoisseur.
This presentation of Leonard Bernstein reveals much of the personality and thoughts of the composer, conductor. I really appreciated the video which prefaced the show, which contained a demonstration of the skills needed by a conductor and the task of reading a music score. But what I really was grateful for was the kind manager, who helped me out of a predicament of stupiidity while ordering my tickets. That was above and beyond and because of that i will try to attend another show at Royal George as soon as possible. Also in the past, at a previous Hershey Felder show, we were with a dear friend, who was in a wheelchair. After the show Hershey Felder approached my friend with no hesitation and communicated with her. I will Never forget his kindness. He is truelly a wonderful person.
As always Felder presents a riveting performance. His acting and musical talents are well suited to the presentation.
As good or better than Felder's Beethoven and Gerschwin productions. He is an amazing storyteller with amazing skills as actor and pianist. The grainy clips of Bernstein's Young Peoplel's concert excerpts as overture were a great way to set the stage.
I was glued to my seat for the entire show! Hershey is not only an amazing actor,story teller, singer....but his piano playing is beyond words. I can not stop thinking about this musical experience. To capture the audience the way this man does... Hershey, you are a genius!!!!! I have never witnessed a singer,actor and musician who has the audience in the palm of his hand the way you do. Nobody does it better! Thank you for taking us on such an incredible journey!!
I have seen Hershey in all of his shows (Gershwin, Chopin, Beethoven) and this one, was by far, his best!!! His singing and piano playing were riviting. I was fortunate enough to have front row seats, and could stare into his beautiful brown eyes! This young man has a talent that is beyone belief! My son, who is a musician, and music teacher calls me every day to thank me for treating him to this ticket. His eyes were glued to Hershey every second of the show. Wow, this is entertainment at its' best!!!
The four of us who attended the show are totaly in awe. We saw almost all of Mr. Felder's productions and will continue coming to his future presentations. He is such a talented artist: pianist, actor and he can sign too. We also admire his ability of imitating various accents, from Russian to German, to Hungarian, to Yiddish - always using the appropriate one. Two hours alone on the stage and he was great to the end - and beyond! - when speaking warmly to the audience. Another reason to enjoy the show was getting to know and appreciate the life and works of the prolific composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein. Very interesting.
Hershey Felder does not disappoint. Even if you aren't musically inclined you will love this performance.
A remarkable performance by Felder, the acting and the music, as well as a wonderful capturing of a strange and talented person.
We enjoyed Hershey Felder's Maestro. Music was superb and Feldewr did a great job of portraying the ups and downs of Bernstein's life and family. Royal George is an excellent venue for this type of production
We have seen all of Mr. Felder's presentations - Gershwin, Chopin, and Beethoven - and "Maestro" did not disappoint. It was riveting.
we happened upon this show by chance and was delighted by it, as good as it gets !!
Hershey Felder's portrail of Leonard Bernstein is absolutely riveting. One-person theater doesn't get any better than this.
I didn't know what to expect when purchasing the tickets, but was pleasantly surprised. What a great storyteller, singer and pianist! I look forward to more of his work
I've seen and enjoyed Hershey Felder's one-man shows about George Gershwin and Chopin. His latest, about Leonard Bernstein, is another fascinating look at a musical giant. Felder's portrayal of Bernstein is an exciting performance, entertaining from first moment to last. His acting, singing, and piano artistry make for a captivating theatre experience. Once again, it's bravo Hershey!
Hershey Felder is absolutely amazing. He keeps the audience totally captivated for over 90 minutes. The music is great and the story line even better.
Emotionally intense. Musically engrossing. Certainly up to the standard of the three previous Hershey Felder events, Gershwin, Chopin, Beethoven.
Loved the performance!! Felder was excellent, as always.
Having seen all of Hershey Felders previous performances, our party of four was blown away with his portrayal of Leonard Bernstein. We all thought this was his best yet. We have been calling all of our friends and family to advise them not to miss this show.
