While reviewing What Makes a Man (WMAM), now playing at the Berkley Street Theatre, it's tempting to comment on what's not there, what could and should be there, rather than what is there. What is on display is a marvelous musical stage portrait of Charles Aznavour, the world renowned French singer/songwriter, actor and political activist/diplomat. A man of the world, he is capable of singing in five languages. One of the last surviving 'showmen,' he still is capable of filling the world's most prestigious concert halls. For example, a year ago he performed for the first time in 25 years at London's Royal Albert Hall. Demand was so great, a second concert was booked there for this past June.

Celebrated French superstar Patrick Bruel is a man of many talents; a passionate, unfailingly curious musician driven by an unquenchable thirst for adventure; a supremely talented artist who is acclaimed for his work as a theatrical and movie actor; and an excellent, world-class poker player.
