Andrew Barth Feldman News

He announced the release last week on his Instagram, sharing, 'This song has taken such a huge journey from when I wrote it to today, and I’m so thankful to [Ryan Hunter Sanchez] and [Josh Withenshaw] for working their incredible magic to make something so incredibly special.'

This month, FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, presents some of the brightest stars from Broadway, cabaret, jazz, and beyond.

For Andrew Barth Feldman, the Disney parks were a metaphor for an escape from a life that has seen extraordinary highs and tragic lows. There has been a lot of incident in his brief nineteen years, and through all the change, Disney has been the glue that held it together. In particular, Disney was a special bond to his mother, whom he lost, in true Disney fashion, at a young age. The show opens with the Sherman Brothers song from The Carousel of Progress, “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” and it leads to the central premise of the show: how do you build a world based on the future when the future is constantly changing? This is definitely not kid stuff. That is an exceedingly profound metaphor for life. Out of the mouth of babes.

BroadwayWorld had the pleasure of speaking to Andrew and Olivia about their new roles, 'that' viral video, and what it means to work on such an exciting series in the middle of a pandemic.
