Description
A multifaceted artist, Melissa Errico talks about her career, including her album "Sondheim In The City," her latest project which pays tribute to the legendary Stephen Sondheim. Melissa also reveals the reason behind her Instagram username, what it’s like raising kids in a “tough city”, and how theatre became her place to organize her emotions. Living in New York, she’s developed a deep connection with the city, which also reflects on her exploration of Sondheim's profound relationship with Manhattan–emphasizing the importance of preserving its vibrant and pluralistic spirit. With an upcoming residency at Birdland, Melissa shares her plans to combine Sondheim, jazz, and film noir elements, creating a unique and immersive experience for the audience.
