Submitting my request for Brian Stokes reviews re: his performance at Feinsteins. I'm going to his show next week and would love to know what songs he sings, etc. I know there was a previous post but it seems to have died out. If you've gone to the show, I'd love to hear your valuable thoughts and impressions. Thanks!

I'm not very good at recollecting events but I'll try. I went this past Friday and there are no words to describe him onstage that up close and personal. He is absolutely amazing! the theme of his show was Life/Love and he told us he was nervous and did not want to suck. I thought that was so cute and humble of him. He sang some American song classics such as: Make Someone Happy, Being Green, a couple of My Fair Lady songs (John Williams gave them his own spin), he sang a couple of Cole Porter songs and he ended with The Impossible Dream which gave me the chills. I can't remember all the songs because to be quite honest I was in a daze at his stage presence. He makes eye contact and has a way of making everyone feel welcome. It was a totally wonderful night and you guys will have a great time. I saw him afterwards and he was as gracious and beautiful as he is onstage. I have met a lot of broadway actors and no one compares to this man.

The song that he sang as a tribute to his son (not sure of the name) was great !!! The story that he told beforehand about his son's first words was adorable !!
