STAGE TUBE: Norm Lewis Gives Sneak Peek of AMERICAN SONGBOOK Concert; Airs Friday on PBS!

Live From Lincoln Center - the pioneering, award-winning performing arts series - continues its 40th anniversary season with another concert from Lincoln Center's American Songbook series, featuring Norm Lewis: Who Am I? (April 10 on PBS). Song selections include: "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?" (Music by Frederick Loewe, lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner); "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'" (Music by George Gershwin, lyrics by DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin); "What's Going On" (Renaldo Benson, al Cleveland, and Marvin Gaye); and "No One Is Alone" (Stephen Sondheim).

Last winter, The New York Times called Norm Lewis' performance in Lincoln Center's American Songbook ("Norm Lewis: Who Am I?") series a "high point of the year." Audiences clamoring for a chance to experience this multi-talented singer and actor have another opportunity as LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER presents his reprise in this year's American Songbook season.

Below, watch as Lewis tells us what's in store for Friday night's television event. C@heck your local listings to watch him in action!

Lewis holds the distinction of being the first African-American to play the title role in The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. For two decades, he has brought his powerful timbre and creamy tone to roles as varied as Porgy opposite Audra McDonald in The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess (for which he received a 2012 Tony nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Musical), Javert in the Broadway and 25th anniversary London productions of Les Miserables, the Broadway revue Sondheim on Sondheim, Billy Flynn in Chicago and Valentine in Two Gentlemen of Verona in Shakespeare in the Park. In 2005, he captured particular attention and a Drama Desk Award nomination for his role in the Lincoln Center Theater's production of Dessa Rose.
