Brian Feinstein is an award-winning composer and playwright whose melodic sensibility bridges traditional and contemporary musical theatre. Drawing inspiration from masters like Rodgers, Menken, Yeston, and Schönberg—with a dash of Crowded House (IYKYK)—his compositions are unmistakably his own: character-driven, melodically rich, and infused with both whimsy and emotional depth. His work has been seen Off- Broadway, across the country, and in classrooms filled with young dreamers.

His musicals span Parisian rooftops, blue-collar baseball fields, bone-burying backyards, and small-town diners where a man once decided to eat a 747. (Yes, really.)

A graduate of USC's School of Cinema and NYU's Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program, Brian’s first Off-Broadway show, Mimi Le Duck, starred the legendary Eartha Kitt in her final stage performance, a formative experience that continues to shape the soul, humor, and heartbeat of his work.

Brian’s catalogue spans genres and audiences, from whimsical mysteries for children to boundary-pushing musicals and acclaimed theatrical scores. His adaptation of The Bad News Bears, based on the iconic Paramount film, is currently in development and Broadway-bound. His rock musical GIRLSTAR was produced at Signature Theatre in Washington, DC. His compositions have brought a contemporary pulse to multiple Shakespeare productions with Shakespeare on the Sound, and his score for Dial M for Murder was praised by The New York Times for adding “a delicious shiver.” His family musical The Top Job is licensed and has seen productions across the U.S., and his music has been performed by the Boston Pops and singers worldwid
