FEINSTEIN'S AT THE REGENCY is proud to present the nightclub debut of Tony Award winning Broadway star Brian Stokes Mitchell from February 1 – 19.

The show will also include original arrangements by Mr. Mitchell. "I am thrilled to be making my nightclub debut at Feinstein's at the Regency," says Mr. Mitchell, "I want this to be a feel-good night, where you can take your honey to celebrate love and life. I hope people will walk out feeling better than when they walked in." All performances are at the Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue at 61st Street.)

Brian Stokes Mitchell, dubbed "the last leading man" by the New York Times, enjoys a spectacular career that spans Tony Award winning performances on Broadway, a multitude of television and film appearances, and performing at our Nation's capital. His Broadway career includes the starring role of Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha, for which he received a Tony Award nomination and the Helen Hayes Award, as well as Fred Graham/Petruchio in Kiss Me Kate, for which he won the 2000 Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards. Other Broadway performances include Coalhouse Walker in Ragtime (Tony Award nomination), August Wilson's King Hedley II (Tony Award nomination), Kiss of the Spider Woman (Valentin), Jelly's Last Jam (replacing Gregory Hines), and David Merrick's Oh, Kay!

He has also added to his successful theatre career a growing list of impressive concert performances. A frequent performer in Washington, D.C., Stokes most recently performed on the West Lawn of our Nation's Capital with Tom Hanks and Ossie Davis for the National Memorial Day Concert, which was filmed by PBS. He has been a frequent guest at the Kennedy Center and appeared in the title role of Sweeney Todd at last year's tremendously successful Sondheim Celebration.

In 1988, Stokes made his Carnegie Hall debut in the televised Gershwin Gala with the San Francisco Symphony and has since performed there many times. He most recently performed at the Hollywood Bowl for three nights at their annual Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular. He recently performed with the Boston Pops and John Williams during the Democratic National Convention and a jazz interpretation of My Fair Lady at Tanglewood with Mr. Williams arranging and conducting.
