Lincoln Center is bringing the magic of Live Theater and Performances with its RESTART STAGES program. So many performances coming from the worlds of classical musical, jazz, and of course our very own Broadway scene. One of those many performances to come will be a breathtaking evening inspiring us TO REACH THE UNREACHABLE STAR with Tony Award winning Broadway favorite

The angelic baritone will present a new cabaret show entitled OUT WITH THE OLD from July 21st-23rd, 2021 before returning for an encore engagement from August 12th-14th, 2021. With his trio (led by Tedd Firth), the evening will feature a full diverse selection of Great American Songbook standards and Broadway favorites by this breathtaking talent. You can expect Stokes as well to perform notable hits from his legendary career including
RAGTIME and MAN OF LA MANCHA.
Since we are still coping with ongoing COVID-19 pandemic safety precautions, there will be a limited amount of seating for this free concert. You can’t just show up though.
TodayTix will be doing a virtual lottery for FREE TICKETS on each night Brian Stokes Mitchell will be performing. They are welcoming both people who have been vaccinated and also those who haven’t yet (which will require people to social distant and wear their face mask).
We’re also sure for a face one of the concerts will be livestreamed as well. Stay tuned for more information on that.
