Broadway star, cabaret favorite and concert artist, Tovah Feldshuh, presents her popular one-woman show, Aging is Optional (‘Cause G-d I Hope It Is!) on Saturday, July 20 at 8:30 PM at The Iridium live music venue.
Known for her sly wit and comedic talent, Feldshuh says of the show and it’s title, “Some people call them decades… I call them my collected works. Now that I’m in my ‘years of wisdom,’ I decided to age backwards and sing about it!” Aging Is Optional is a piece that fully embraces this vision of a performer who deems herself perpetually 39, and hopes her age-defying romp will be Restylane for the soul. She says, “I firmly believe that aging is optional because I choose doorways that keep me young… If you can align yourself comfortably in your own skin…whatever works for you. What I do not do is create an oppositional universe for myself.”
Feldshuh is a Tony-nominated, multiple Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle Awards, Obie Award Winner — whose professional age-transformational highlights include her award-winning portrayal of 60-ish Israel’s Prime Minister Golda Meir in the long-running Broadway blockbuster Golda’s Balcony and as the 16-year old Polish Catholic savior of a dozen Jews Irena Opdyke in Irena’s Vow. Recently, she stopped the show as the trapeze-swinging Berthe in the Tony Award®-winning Broadway revival of Pippin.
