This concert was a tribute to Manhattan and featured two of her perennial concentrations: the work of female songwriters & the brilliance of Stephen Sondheim. The program featured Mr. Sondheim in such songs as "Another Hundred People" and his (cut song) "Uptown Downtown" from the musical Follies which she noted for its virtuosity and it's epitomizing the way in which "Mr. Sondheim loves to write about all of us unsettled New Yorkers."
Audiences can catch Melissa Errico back at Feinstein's/54 Below Feb 18-19 to celebrate the release of her new album, Out of The Dark, The Film Noir Project. And next month for the holidays, audiences can see Melissa with Billy Stritch for two special holiday concerts at the Bucks County Playhouse on Dec 15, and The Emelin Theater in Mamaroneck, Westchester on Dec 17.
