Melissa Errico Sings Sondheim

Feinstein’s/54 Below, NYC, November 17, 2017

Reviewed by Peter Haas for Cabaret Scenes

Recipe for a superb evening of cabaret: Start with a glowing, top-of-the-class Broadway actress and singer; add songs written by one of the theater’s best-ever lyricists/composers; mix in a handsome gentleman guest from opera; and serve with good food and attentive service. All elements were on hand for Melissa Errico’s opening night of a short stay at Feinstein’s/54 Below, featuring numbers created, in whole or in part, by Stephen Sondheim.

In a return engagement of her earlier sold-out show at the same club, Errico lent her warm, clear voice and her acting skills to a generous portion of Sondheim hits.

Among them: “Everybody Says Don’t” (Anyone Can Whistle); “Do I Hear a Waltz?” and “Take the Moment,”  both with Sondheim’s lyrics to music by Richard Rodgers (Do I Hear a Waltz?); “The Miller’s Son” (A Little Night Music) performed jauntily by Errico seated atop the piano; “Sooner or Later,” with the singer accompanying herself on the ukulele singing the Madonna hit that Sondheim had written for the motion picture Dick Tracy; and a moving “Loving You” from Passion.

Midway through the evening, Errico was joined by Metropolitan Opera tenor Richard Troxell, who demonstrated his popular-song talents performing with her on “Take the Moment” (music by Richard Rodgers, from Do I Hear a Waltz?”) and “Somewhere” (West Side Story; music: Leonard Bernstein). The evening ended with Errico’a gentle performances of “Children Will Listen” (Into the Woods); “Not While I’m Around” (Sweeney Todd), and a strong “Move On” (Sunday in the Park with George).

Bows to musical back-up: musical director Tedd Firth (piano); Rex Benincasa (percussion); and the evening’s director, Robbie Rozelle—all contributing to what a top-class evening in cabaret can be.
