Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Feldshuh originated the role of 'Irena' in 'Yentl' on Broadway before Barbra Streisand's film version—she's been playing Jewish mothers since before it was cool.
The documentary arrives as Broadway faces existential post-pandemic questions; Feldshuh's survival story feels like defiant propaganda for the art form itself.
