Late Night with Leonard Bernstein

A multi-media mabaret hosted and narrated by Jamie Bernstein

(OVERVIEW)

Late Night with Leonard Bernstein is an affectionate portrait of the personal side of this charismatic, singularly public figure. Hosted and narrated by his daughter Jamie and featuring acclaimed soprano Amy Burton and pianists John Musto and Michael Boriskin, the evening celebrates Bernstein’s non-stop creativity and the entertaining he did at all-hours at home. A Copland House production, the multi-media cabaret interweaves personal anecdotes, film clips and some of Bernstein’s favorite music alongside works by Copland, Zez Confrey, Lecuona, Coward and others (even some unpublished works) and traces his journey from his undergraduate years to his early work as an aspiring composer and arranger of musicals, dance, and pop novelties.

“A look at the after-hours maestro [that] revealed his mischievous personality and musical predilections … the audience filled the room with lusty laughs and applause.”
