Letter From David

Albie Selznick's "Letter from David" is the perfect example of why we need storytelling. Mr. Selznick is a true artist who has scaled walls that many of us consistently only dream about. Selznick, a clown, magician and mime by trade, wants desperately to meet his hero, David Bowie, and what follows is a true popcorn story. If you're even remotely a fan of the 70s, 80s, 90s, and all things "Thin White Duke," you're in for one hell of a treat. "Letter from David" is equal parts fascinating, infuriating and cathartic. For a good dose of navigating the entertainment industry of yesteryear, you're not going to want to miss this performance reality-check. ... full review

Part love letter, part memoir, Albie Selznick takes us on a journey from when his inner child fell in love with performing to present day. Without a doubt, one of the best solo performances, I’ve seen. Selznick masterfully displays his range and leaves the audience the gift of his artistic journey, his aesthetic and drive. I wouldn’t be surprised if this show is already sold out. This is simply masterful storytelling.... full review

Albie’s story, told from the point of view of his lifelong dream of meeting and working with David Bowie, makes for a terrifically entertaining 75 minutes in the theatre. It’s funny, nostalgic, very relatable, and surprisingly moving. Highly recommended!!... full review

This is an extraordinary life story worth listening to. It was funny, heartwarming, and incredibly entertaining. It is the reminder that dreams do come true, even if they aren’t exactly how you imagined. ... full review

This guy is a true raconteur! His story telling skills are some of the best I've seen in theater. The amount of detail and pacing out the events of his extraordinary was mesmerizing. The profound take away for me was how a terrible childhood tragedy (briefly mentioned onced) set him on a course to pursue a dream, developing a fierce resilience while finding a way to keep that dream alive.....all the while having a blast of a life! SO entertaining and moving...what a journey! ... full review
