It was just recently that I discovered Mr. Mitchell in musicals, I only knew him as the hilarious Trevor in Fresh Prince series. When I've found out his beautiful voice, it was simply mind-blowing! He's my favorite Don Quixote!

Richard Kiley remains the best, but he was in the original production and has reached his impossible star. Of contemporary performers, Brian Stokes Mitchell is far and away our present best. He has the voice and passion for both the music and the role. I went on a quest myself one evening searching for artists who could do justice by "The Impossible Dream", it seemed hopeless until various comments lead me to Mitchell.

Yep. Kiley will never be touched. Although I like Josh Groban's version of this song, too. BSM is ... meh. I'm not really enamored of BSM's voice. He sounds forced, like he's wringing his voice out of himself like you would wring a wet washcloth. And it definitely doesn't work for this song. It's a long song, and he sounds like he's forcing it out of himself.

Purely based off of singing ability Brian Stokes Mitchell has one of the biggest voices in Broadway, 10 times greater then Richard Kiley's, but both did a great job, yet Brian's voice is just incomparably great in every performance he does. Furthermore he does a great job at really fitting into every part he does, always sounds different.

For some reason, I am not able to post the link to the video, but you can search on "Brina Stokes Mitchell The Impossible Dream". Then click on "The Impossible Dream Tribute to Teddy Kennedy". This is the Tony performance, but the title of it has been changed. Or you can double-click the fourth video down in the box of videos on the right, which is the Tony Award performance with the proper title. It is now my favorite interpretation of The Impossible Dream.

@millierose1292 He did the male lead in South Pacific in concert at Carnegie Hall in 2005 and I saw it on public television. That was one of the numbers. Although many of the songs from that performance are posted on youtube, that song was not. Too bad, since his rendition was great, in that performance and I guess at BYU as well. I hope to see him live someday.

@pizoteproductions -gasp- bit your tongue! granted u r entitled to your opinion but the whole beauty of being an artist is to incorporate your own style to whatever it is you are pursuing, Mr. Mitchell does a phenomenal job, it may not be to your liking but do not belittle it because it may be different than what you are familiar with.

Keep in mind that Don Quixote is an old man who is a little fried in the head from reading all those stories about noble knights, which is why he thinks windmills are monsters, etc. Of course, Brian Stokes Mitchell sounds fine to me.

Stokes Mitchell obviously has charisma and a great feel for Don Quixote, but something sounds wrong with his voice. Almost as though he's used too much vocal fry or pushed too much to achieve that dark tone, and it's damaged the chords. Even so...
