Tony Nominee Melissa Errico to Offer April Concerts at Feinstein's/54 Below

Tony Award-nominated singer & actress Melissa Errico (who is performing tonight at Lincoln Center's Spotlight on Judy Garland Event - The History of the World in 100 Performances Moderated by Adam Gopnik & radio host Jonathan Schwartz) will return to Feinstein's/54 Below (254 W. 54th St.) for two concert performances on Friday, April 1 and Saturday, April 2 at 7pm. With "the voice of enchantment" (Ben Brantley, The New York Times), Errico, who has starred in six Broadway shows (My Fair Lady, Amour, Irving Berlin's White Christmas, High Society, Dracula, the Musical and Anna Karenina) has always loved questions more than answers. And in her brand new show 'Funny! I'm A Woman With Children' she sings of the absurdities and the ins & outs of marriage and motherhood in an acoustic evening featuring an eclectic range of songs from Harold Arlen, Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Lerner & Loewe, Kurt Weill and Michel Legrand, as well as Jeanine Tesori, Laura Nyro, Johnny Mandel and new signature material written for Melissa by David Shire, Peter Mills and Adam Gopnik.

Be prepared for an evening of nothing but Melissa simply with piano, voice and guitar putting her heart on her sleeve, asking us how we connect and bringing us all closer with her vivacious warmth and her soaring vocals. The show, co-conceived by Gopnik, will feature Tedd Firth on Piano and direction from Robbie Rozelle. Tickets are $35-$80 (plus a $25 food/drink minimum) & can be purchased online at www.54Below.com.

Errico, who has recently gotten much notice for her dynamite guest turn as the unstable 'June' on the acclaimed new Showtime series Billions, will also offer a special performance on Friday, March 18 in Brooklyn hosted and curated by Adam Gopnik of The New Yorker in at 7pm at National Sawdust+, a venue that brings artists and thinkers together for stimulating events. Gopnik has been drawn to create lyrics and librettos for a range of musical projects and this evening will feature Broadway star and close collaborator Melissa Errico who will perform songs, new and old, that he has hand-picked. Selections will include songs from the one-woman show, Sing the Silence, which they co-wrote, as well as an eclectic mix of standards and original material. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased online at www.NationalSawdust.org.

Melissa Errico's last performance from 54 Below "What About Today?" was recently released on DVD, the first-ever DVD in Broadway Records' "Live at 54 BELOW" Series. That, along with the live recording of the show, is available on Amazon and at www.BroadwayRecords.com. "What About Today?" - Live at 54 BELOW" captures the opening night performance of Errico's most recent run at the Broadway nightclub, showcasing her gorgeous voice and charismatic performance style as she shares quips, anecdotes, and offers beautiful renditions of songs by Stephen Sondheim, Burt Bacharach, Stephen Schwartz, and more. Countering romantic and ethereal moments with Michel Legrand and Jule Styne ballads, she lets her hair down more than once, including falling to the floor to flirt with a fan & dancing through the crowd.
