The luminous Broadway soprano Melissa Errico has a biting wit she's displayed in many a New York Times essay. In her new solo cabaret, she explores her contradictions while chronicling her career in song, the highs (a Tony nomination for Amour, My Fair Lady), the lows (Dracula) and all the promising workshops in between. From ingenue to intellectual, Errico sings her life, including tunes by Lerner and Loewe, Kurt Weill, Cole Porter, Michel Legrand and her late friend Stephen Sondheim. Live-streaming directly from The Green Room 42 in Midtown. If you prefer to attend in person, click here for info.
