The film centers on the lifelong relationship between the two and the challenges their marriage faced. Cooper also directs the film, which he co-wrote with Josh Singer.
The film also boasts a stellar supporting cast, with many theatre regulars among them. See Matt Bomer as clarinetist David Oppenhiem, a close friend of Bernstein's; Michael Urie as choreographer Jerome Robbins; Gideon Glick as musician Tommy Cothran, a rumored lover of Bernstein's; Maya Hawke as Jamie Bernstein, daughter of Leonard and Felicia; Sarah Silverman as Shirley Bernstein, Leonard's sister; and Miriam Shor as actress and model Cynthia O'Neal.
