Brian Stokes Mitchell, this man can sing

[CapeCodTenor]

I was flipping through Youtube and came across this video of Brian Stokes Mitchell singing "The Impossiblel Dream" from Man of la Mancha, and had to share it. I first heard him sing when he did the Carnegie Hall performance of South Pacific. I got to hear him sing live in Boston and it was a treat.

He's amazing, isn't he? Does anyone remember him as Jackpot on Trapper John?

He was also phenomenal in Ragtime and Kiss Me Kate. Love his voice!

He sang something, and for the life of me I can't remember the name of the song, at a concert I heard him give in Boston, and let me tell you, I was in tears afterwards. I love to listen to this man sing.

I only knew him as the arch enemy neighbor on Frasier. However we heard him this year at the Candlelight Processional in Epcot. Just awesome. He has a great speaking voice and gift for narration too!

That's a talent that you don't see very often. Yes, there are people who do good narration, but to have a true gift of narration is rare, and I can see Brian Stokes Mitchell as having that gift.

I've seen him in Ragtime, Kiss Me Kate, and Man of la Mancha on Broadway. He could sing the names from the phone book and do an amazing job.

I would love to have seen him as Emil in South Pacific.

Thank you! I love that song, and had not heard it sung by him before.

I'm hoping DH, also a baritone, will sing it for his spring recital!
