## Early life and education

Andrew Barth Feldman was born in Manhasset, New York, to David Feldman and Barbara Barth. He was raised with an older sister and cousins, whom he calls his brothers. They grew up near his mother's childhood hometown. He and his family are Jewish. Feldman became a fan of musical theater at a very young age after watching a production of Beauty and the Beast at age three. He went on to star in various local and school productions, including Annie, Grease, and Rent. He started a YouTube channel in high school to do projects for school.
He also founded his own musical theater company in middle school, Zneefrock Productions, as part of his bar mitzvah project to raise money for autism research. He and his friend Adrian Dickson wrote and directed a Star Wars parody musical for the company, which would later be staged at 54 Below with professional actors. He attended Lawrence Woodmere Academy, where his mother worked as an administrator before her death in August 2019.
After taking time off of high school to star in Dear Evan Hansen, Feldman initially decided to attend Harvard University in the fall of 2020, but he deferred his enrollment a year to 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, he had to take a semester off from Harvard when he booked the co-lead role in the film No Hard Feelings opposite Jennifer Lawrence.

## Career
### Acting career

In 2018, his sophomore year of high school, Feldman portrayed Frank Abagnale Jr. in his high school's production of the musical Catch Me If You Can. After winning his regional awards program for this performance, he was invited to perform at the Jimmy Awards, where he won the award for best actor. Stacey Mindich, the lead producer of Dear Evan Hansen, saw his performance and asked him to audition for the role of Evan Hansen on Broadway. On January 30, 2019, at the age of 16, Feldman assumed the role of Evan Hansen, taking over for Taylor Trensch. His performance was lauded, with Sarah Bahr in the New York Times writing, "Andrew Barth Feldman made me forget where I was, who I was, that I was anything other than part of the world onstage...I'm pretty sure I didn't draw breath the entire first act." He exited the role on January 26, 2020, upon which Jordan Fisher took over the role.
Feldman began a fundraiser for the Actor's Fund called "Broadway Jackbox" in March 2020, alongside former Dear Evan Hansen co-star Alex Boniello. This fundraiser streamed on Twitch, with famous Broadway and screen actors each week. He additionally created a murder mystery series called Broadway Whodunit, which stars Broadway and theatre actors. During his run in the show, he had his own Broadway.com vlog and he has his own YouTube channel under his name. He began his own theatre company, Zneefrock Productions, to raise money for autism awareness. He can be heard playing himself in As the Curtain Rises, an original Broadway soap opera podcast from the Broadway Podcast Network.
On December 28, 2020, it was announced that Feldman would star as Alfredo Linguini in a benefit concert presentation of Ratatouille the Musical, an internet meme that originated on TikTok, inspired by the 2007 Disney/Pixar film. The concert streamed exclusively on TodayTix on January 1, 2021. His performance was celebrated, with Jesse Green writing in The New York Times that Feldman "seems to have animated his face to match Pixar's version: He's instantly adorable while looking like he still might gnaw your toe."
On February 11, 2021, it was announced that Feldman would make his television acting debut in the Disney+ show, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, as a recurring guest star for season 2, where he played Antoine, a French exchange student.

Feldman made his feature film acting debut in April 2023 in Netflix film A Tourist's Guide to Love as Alex, a college-bound vlogger. He starred opposite Jennifer Lawrence in No Hard Feelings in June 2023 as Percy Becker, a soon-to-be college student who is also socially clueless. He then played Neil Levy in the 2024 SNL biopic Saturday Night and as the voice and motion capture for Dopey, one of the Seven Dwarfs in Disney's 2025 live-action remake of Snow White, on which he also served as its narrator.
