This brilliant actor with his astonishing baritone is well known for his musical versatility, charisma, and chameleonic ability to evoke any emotion. He won a Tony Award for his role in “Kiss Me, Kate,” and received Tony nominations for “Man of La Mancha,” “Ragtime” and “King Hedley II.” His television credits include recurring roles on “Trapper John, M.D.,” “Crossing Jordan” and “Frasier.” For this performance, “Stokes” (as he prefers to be called) takes the stage with The American Festival Pops Orchestra, under the direction of Professor Tony Maiello for a spectacular evening of show tunes, ballads and classic love songs like “Embraceable You,” ”They Can’t Take That Away from Me,” and his showstopper, “The Impossible Dream.” “In his silken, elegant phrases that linger over each ecstatic exclamation, Mr. Mitchell makes you believe that the happiness bursting out of him is as natural as breathing.” (The New York Times)
