Chanukah with The Feldman Dynamic: The Review Tired of the fictitiousness of reality-television, or for that matter of reality itself? Well Chanukah with The Feldman Dynamic is not only the perfect reality respite, but also the perfect reality submersion. The Feldman Dynamic breaks down the walls hiding the “backstage” and gives all-new meaning to Shakespeare’s famous line, “all the world’s a stage.” When the show itself “begins,” if a beginning could even be labeled, Adrienne Feldman walks over to the living-room computer and routinely hits play on her iTunes playlist, starting up the only pre-recorded element of the show: a hilarious audio introduction. Soon after, Mr. Feldman enters the home/stage a little late from work while Mrs. Feldman complains about his tardiness in an entertaining mini-argument reminiscent of classic scripted couples like the Ricardos or the Jetsons. By the end of the dinner the family has produced an entire episode of such uniquely entertaining moments like Adrienne’s Math Grade Debate and Brian Feldman’s Glow-Stick Menorah, just to name a few. By the time they finally acknowledge their audience and take the bow, the Feldmans have given all new meaning to the “what you see is what you get” aesthetic. However, the real magic of the “show” exceeds it’s mere entertainment value. The real magic lies in the show’s overwhelming simplicity and its complete rejection of the concept of “show.” Chanukah with The Feldman Dynamic accomplishes naturally what scripts have been striving to imitate for years and proves that there is natural mise-en-scène in real-life if people just take the time to sit and watch it.
