Opening Night Special Performance also featuring Billy Stritch“Any chance to hear Melissa Errico sing is a chance worth taking.”
— The New York Times
So begins Stephen Sondheim’s anthemic song of a show girl’s search for stage stardom. In her new show “The Life and Loves of a Broadway Baby,” Melissa Errico sets her own life to the Broadway songs that she has sung and owned — and offers both a sensational set of beloved standards and a series of witty and sometimes wicked stories about a life passed on the Great White Way. Rapidly becoming just as well-known as a New York Times’ author as well as an actress, Melissa combines her two gifts to offer a show that is full of fierce song and funny stories making the evening, as one critic has said, like experiencing the “Nora Ephron rom-com version of Sex In the City.”
A classy, sublime study of American songs, ranging from Cole Porter to Harold Arlen to Joni Mitchell and beyond…. Come hear why BroadwayWorld says “The way Melissa Errico immerses herself in every moment, the technical brilliance of her vocal abilities, and the sheer star power that the lady exudes, makes her a take-no-prisoners performer, offering a leave-it-all-on-the-floor show.”
Joining her on piano is the legendary Billy Stritch, whose career includes collaborations with Liza Minnelli and Tony Bennett.
