An Evening with Brian Stokes Mitchell
Sunday, October 29 at 7:00 pm
Venetian Room of the Fairmont San Francisco, 950 Mason Street, Atop Nob Hill

Having presented cabaret seasons in a variety of elegant showrooms, Bay Area Cabaret found a permanent home in 2010 when it was invited to reopen the Fairmont San Francisco's historic Venetian Room, which had been dark as an entertainment venue for over 21 years. Following a gala opening (featuring Oscar, Grammy, Tony, and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Marvin Hamlisch), the company has gone on to present such musical legends as Barbara Cook, Chita Rivera, Judy Collins, Stephen Schwartz, Elaine Paige, Tommy Tune, Leslie Uggams, and the Bay Area Teen Idol competition (first year winner, Bobby Conte is currently starring on Broadway in Robert DeNiro and Chaz Palminteri's A Bronx Tale: The Musical). Having been awarded exclusive music booking rights to the Venetian Room, Bay Area Cabaret has continued to provide top caliber lineups, and now begins its eighth year in residence, to present Bay Area Cabaret's 14th season of music.
