On Friday, Jan. 5 and Saturday, Jan. 6, join Feinstein’s as Melissa Errico takes the stage with jazz pianist Tedd Firth for 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 an ingenue’s life passed on the Great White Way. A sexy, sublime study of American songs, ranging from Cole Porter to Harold Arlen, Lerner & Loewe to Taylor Swift … with a substantial peek at Melissa’s upcoming Sondheim album, Sondheim in the City, due Feb. 16, 2024, on Concord Records, with songs like “Everybody Says Don’t,” “Take Me to the World,” and “Being Alive.”

Come hear why Broadway World 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.”

Touring from England to Paris, Vegas, California, New York, and more, critics are besotted. UK writer Mark Shenton said: “Errico is a radiantly intelligent performer who brings astonishing depth and perception to her deep embrace of great music and illuminates it from within. A great cabaret night can be as complete and thrilling as a full musical in the hands of a mistress of the art like her.”
