TheatreWorks Silicon Valley presents “Hershey Felder: The Piano and Me” at Mountain View Center for The Performing Arts

TheatreWorks Silicon Valley will ring in 2026 with the return of actor/pianist/writer Hershey Felder in the World Premiere of Hershey Felder: The Piano and Me. Known for his portrayals of musical geniuses in his beloved composer series, Felder now renders a different musical artist: Hershey Felder. In this brand-new play, Felder plays himself as well as many of the characters he’s met along the way who have made his art possible. After some 16 musical protagonists, 6,000 live performances, 18 musical films, and 30 hours of musical repertoire, Felder tells the story behind the story: the joy, the heartbreak, the elation, the insanity, and, above everything, the music that drives it all. Hershey Felder: The Piano and Me features performances of beloved compositions by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Bartók, and more. Breaking many TheatreWorks box office records, Felder has long been a favorite of TheatreWorks audiences, who have flocked to his hit productions including Hershey Felder: Rachmaninoff and the Tsar; Hershey Felder as George Gershwin Alone; Hershey Felder: Chopin in Paris; Our Great Tchaikovsky; Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin; Hershey Felder as Claude Debussy in A PARIS LOVE STORY; and Hershey Felder: Beethoven.
