Dubbed by the New York Times, “The Last Leading Man” on Broadway, Tony-Award Winner Brian Stokes Mitchell starred in John Williams’ Jazz version of “My Fair Lady” at Tanglewood and headlined the Carnegie Hall concert presentation of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “South Pacific” with Reba McEntire, which airs on PBS.
