Description
"People often say that Leonard Bernstein was a born teacher, but actually it's more accurate to say that he was a born student who just couldn't wait to share what he learned. In his whole life, he never stopped studying.” - Jamie Bernstein (his daughter)
TO LENNY, WITH LOVE, a world premiere theatrical portrait, is an actor's dream, "a tour-de-force" consisting of half a dozen vignettes of significant persons in his life or person he had influenced greatly; a kaleidoscopic view of this man for all seasons. Written especially for Bob Clendenin, Bob will portray Sam Bernstein (Leonard's father), David Diamond (composer/colleague), a young conducting aspirant at Juilliard, two critics (one adores Lenny, one does not!), a violist in the Vienna Philharmonic (the orchestra Bernstein claimed to be the greatest), and a couple of cameo surprises.
Coupled with the theatricality will be the compelling music of Bernstein exploring his range of styles from West Side Story to serious art song.
The Show is directed by Troy Hollar.
