If you were a high school theater fanatic like Sam Rosalie of Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, Feldman is living out your wildest dreams!

Feldman is inspiring teens everywhere to shoot for the moon, as he makes his Broadway debut.
During his interview with Rosalie, Feldman talked about what he is most excited about bringing to Evan, “I’m not 10 years from now having to say, what did I think about this when I was a teenager? I am a teenager. I understand every interaction and the nuance of all the feelings that he has in a way that is right now and that’s what I’m really really excited to give to him.” We can’t wait to watch Feldman “Wave Through A Window” from the Music Box Theatre stage.
Later, Sam and Andrew discuss his theater company he founded at the age of 12 and more in the full interview above.
