Watch for news of Leonard E. Barrett, Jr.’s return in another show at Lannie’s in the future.

Starring Leonard E. Barrett, Jr.
Piano/Musical Direction: Donna Debreceni

This show was inspired by Lannie Garrett’s favorite male Soul/R&B/pop and jazz singers.
Lannie loves all kinds of music and the many shows she’s created reflect that. From Big Band, Disco, to Gypsy jazz and more ….but this was one idea she knew she couldn’t pull off herself!  As luck would have it however, she recently attended a musical production of “Man of La Mancha” at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and was mesmerized by the talented, charismatic lead actor/singer, Leonard E. Barrett, Jr.. Wow!  It clicked!  HE could be her star!

The first set features hits from Nat King Cole’s prolific career.
Classics like: “Unforgettable,” “Mona Lisa,” “Route 66″ and the festive, “Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer!”
Audiences will also learn more about Cole’s personal life, triumphs and set-backs.
The second set will shine light, in story and song, on the greats from Johnny Mathis, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, James Brown and more.

Leonard Barrett, Jr. is a soulful entertainer who brings his love for acting and singing to the stage with every performance.   A favorite of Denver area theater goers, Barrett’s performances have garnered him rave reviews and a loyal following of avid fans.

Leonard has won numerous awards including an Ovation Award for Best Actor in a Musical by the Denver Post in 2004, Best Actor in a Musical voted by the readers of the Denver Post in 2007, Westword’s Best Season for an Actor in 2007, Best Year for an Actor in 2008 voted by the readers of the Denver Post, and more.

“The other worldly Barrett…He’s a consummate showman.”- John Moore, Denver Post Drama Critic

“…he was born to be on stage.” – Denver director, Steve Wilson

“Leonard Barrett’s star quality is on full display as Cervantes/Don Quixote. Barely recognizable in his makeup, completely immersed in the role, masterful, powerful and tender, he controls the stage whenever he’s on it.” – Juliet Wittman, Westword Drama Critic
