Mr. Krasinski's Valentine's Day concert includes selections of classic movie love songs ("Unchained Melody" from Ghost, "Where Do I Begin?" from Love Story) and iconic Broadway love songs ("All I Ask of You" from The Phantom of the Opera, "Some Enchanted Evening" from South Pacific, and "Tonight" from West Side Story). Mr. Krasinski also plays a medley of popular love songs throughout the decades, starting from 1890 to 1970! The concert concludes with Stevie Wonders' "I Just Called To Say I Love You."
