“Maestro,” directed by Joel Zwick, continues at the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood through Dec. 12
There is a stunning moment in “Maestro” as Hershey Felder, playing Leonard Bernstein’s alter ego on stage, and the conductor-composer himself, on a large screen in an old film clip, join in a seamless piano duet from Richard Wagner’s “Tristan and Isolde.”
This tour de force at the Geffen Playhouse characterizes the fusion between the personas of actor-singer-writer Felder, very much alive and lively at 42, and Bernstein, who died almost 20 years ago at 72.
