SAN FRANCISCO, CA: TOVAH FELDSHUH RETURNS TO FEINSTEIN'S WITH HER SHOW, 'TOVAH: AGING IS OPTIONAL'

Acclaimed Broadway, film and television star, Tovah Feldshuh - nominated six times for the Tony and Emmy Awards - returns to FEINSTEIN'S AT THE NIKKO(222 Mason Street, San Francisco, CA - 866-663-1063) on Friday, April 29th (8:00 pm) and Saturday, April 30th (7:00 pm) with her one-woman show, 'Tovah: Aging is Optional'. Come drink from the waters as this timeless award-winning actress shares her observations, perturbations and innovations on staying timeless amidst the March of Time. Tapping into music from Rodgers & Hammerstein to Carole King and Dar Williams, and bringing the wit and wisdom of beloved characters, Tovah : Aging is Optional provides Restylane for the soul, a booster for the heart and a poster child for laughter ... and exercise. Directed by Jeff Harnar with Musical Direction by Jim Bassi. Tovah Feldshuh has had a year immersed in television. She recently finished playing Deanna Monroe, head of Alexandria, in the runaway hit "The Walking Dead" for AMC. She can also be seen on Starz as Russian Ballet Mistress, Ivana, in the miniseries "Flesh & Bone." Most recently, she was tapped to play Naomi Bunch, mother of Rebecca in the Golden Globe-winning hit, "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" on The CW, where she can be seen singing the dignified showstopper: "Where's the Bathroom!" You may remember her for her Emmy-nominated work as defense attorney Danielle Melnick in "Law & Order" or her portrayal of Czech Freedom Fighter, Helena Slomova, in NBC's "Holocaust," for which she received her second Emmy Award nomination. She has starred opposite Tommy Lee Jones in "The Amazing Howard Hughes," James Woods in "Citizen Cohn," Bill Cosby on "The Cosby Mysteries" and "The Cosby Show," Richard Dreyfuss in "The Education of Max Bickford," and Piper Perabo in USA's "Covert Affairs." Last season on Broadway, Ms. Feldshuh stopped the show as the trapeze-swinging Berthe in the Tony Award-winning musical revival of Pippin. Prior to that, she played Lady Politic in the acclaimed revival of Ben Jonson's Volpone at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. For her other work on the New York stage, from Yentl to Sarava! and Lend Me a Tenor to Golda's Balcony and Irena's Vow, she has earned four Tony nominations for Best Actress and won four Drama Desk Awards, four Outer Critics Circle Awards, the Obie, the Theatre World Award and the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Actress. On October 3, 2004, Golda's Balcony became the longest-running one-woman show in the history of Broadway, a record it still holds. Since then, Ms. Feldshuh toured Golda to Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, Atlanta, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Buffalo, San Diego's Old Globe, where she was honored the Theatre Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Performance, and Washington D.C.'s Theater J, where she won the Helen Hayes Award for Best Actress. She made her directorial debut in New York City with Naomi Ragen's Women's Minyan. Other shows on Broadway include Cyrano (with Christopher Plummer), Rodgers and Hart and Dreyfus in Rehearsal. Feldshuh portrayed the title roles in the Roundabout Theatre's She Stoops to Conquer and Mistress of the Inn, BAM's Three Sisters with Rosemary Harris and Ellen Burstyn, and played in the long-running hits Love, Loss and What I Wore and The Vagina Monologues. She also starred as the legendary Tallulah Bankhead in her own Tallulah Hellelujah!, which was chosen as one of the Ten Best Plays of the Year by USA Today. Among other roles, Ms. Feldshuh has portrayed Mama Rose in Gypsy, Diana Vreeland in Full Gallop, Jean Brodie in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Sarah Bernhardt, Stella Adler, Sophie Tucker, Katharine Hepburn, three queens of Henry VIII and nine Jews from birth to death in Off-Broadway's Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh. She also played Ms. Hepburn in Matthew Lombardo's one-woman show Tea at Five. Her one-woman show, Tovah: Out of Her Mind!, sold out in London's West End at the Duke Of York's and culminated in a symphonic concert with Billy Crystal at Los Angeles' Royce Hall. The Boston Globe selected Tovah: Out of Her Mind! as the best one-person show of 2000. Ms. Feldshuh created a new concert entitled Mining Golda: My Journey to Golda Meir which played the West End, Manchester, Leeds, Johannesburg, and Sydney, Australia. She was the first artist ever to be asked to extend at the renowned NYC nightclub Feinstein's at the Loew's Regency with Tovah: In a Nutshell! Her concert entitled Tovah: On, Off, and Now Under Broadway brought her debut at 54 Below, where she just returned for two more sold-out engagements with her newest act, Aging is Optional. On the US West Coast she starred at the Ahmanson as Regina in Lillian Hellman's Another Part Of The Forest and served as a leading lady for Jack O'Brien and Craig Noel at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego in such shows as Romeo and Juliet, Two Gentlemen Of Verona, Measure For Measure, The Country Wife and Tovah: A Rush Hour Revue, where she was named an Associate Artist and won two Drama Logue Awards for her Juliet and for her first one-woman show. Ms. Feldshuh, a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, and a winner of the McKnight Fellowship to the Guthrie Theatre and the University of Minnesota, has taught at Yale, Cornell and New York Universities and was awarded two honorary Doctors of Humane Letters. She is a supporter of Seeds of Peace, a non-profit, non-political organization that helps teenagers from regions of conflict and is the recipient of the Eleanor Roosevelt Humanities Award and the Israel Peace Medal. Ms. Feldshuh is married to New York attorney, Andrew Harris Levy. They have two children, Garson Brandon and Amanda Claire (recently married to Mr. Joel Ryzowy).
