Felder has devised a type of performance that feeds on his unique gifts as a seductive portraitist, compelling storyteller and superb concert pianist. Musical biographies?

It would be one thing for an actor to arrive onstage, as Felder does in his show George Gershwin Alone , and present a self-penned study that captures alluring if often anguished aspects of the composer who died far too young. But it is the rare performer who also possesses the profound musical understanding that could bring this legend to life—or the ability to sit at the piano, as Felder does in Maestro Bernstein , and play and sing excerpts from West Side Story and Candide as if had composed them himself.

Felder can captivate an audience with little or no background in classical music while at the same time satisfying aficionados. And, when he is dealing with masters of the great American songbook, he can easily leave a crowd unable to suppress the desire to sing along. Felder has become a sort of one-man cottage industry. Over the course of the past 15 years, he has given more than 4, performances and never canceled a single date.

Work ethic? Call Felder for a chat at 9 a. I study them, and they help keep me on the ball pianistically. So which came first, the acting or the piano? They seem to have blossomed in tandem. He admits to being something of a ham from the start. Enjoyed immensely! But would have liked a break mid-stream. Also wish some of the Bernstein video was shown after the lights were out because, wanted to hear it and people were talking all around us, as the show hadn't Marvelous show!

Marvelous performer! A must-see! Plan a lot of time to find parking that gives you more than a 2-hour slot. Their garage was full, but a fellow at the entrance sent folks to the nearby CVS parking area with a ticket to park Loved the first part.

Really didn't like the rest much at all, however. Wouldn't recommend it, but I really like Hershey Felder's work. Beethoven is not Irving Berlin! Robert A. Red Velvet. Efren Matos.
