BRIAN STOKES MITCHELL ? IN CONCERT   

WITH THE NORTH COAST MEN'S CHORUS  

SPECIAL NEOHIOPAL DISCOUNT AVAILABLE  

Saturday, June 23 at 8:00 p.m.  

Palace Theatre - Playhouse Square, Cleveland  

Theatre lovers have a rare opportunity to hear Tony Award-winning actor Brian Stokes Mitchell in concert with the North Coast Men's Chorus on Saturday, June 23 at 8:00 at the Palace Theatre at PlayhouseSquare. The Chorus will present a shortened concert complete with tap dancing ballerinas and our version of the Von Trapp Family Singers before welcoming Stokes to the stage to join them in a few songs. Then Stokes will finish out the evening with songs from his concert tour.  

As Robert D. Thomas, music critic for the /Pasadena Star/ wrote in March, ?Stokes represents an earlier era of Broadway musicals, one that young people today rarely get the chance to experience. However, this show is deeper and richer than mere nostalgia, so if you can get a ticket for tomorrow's final performance, grab it.?
