“The Maria Callas of American musical theater,” as Opera News has called her, referencing both her silken voice and dramatic, expressive intensity, Melissa Errico’s career is characterized by a dazzling range of passions as actress, singer, and author. First known for her starring roles on Broadway, her tribute album, Sondheim Sublime, was called by The Wall Street Journal “The best all-Sondheim album ever recorded.” Nominated for a Tony for her appearance in Michel Legrand’s only Broadway musical, Amour, she was asked to write the eulogy to Legrand in The New York Times in 2019 (where she is a frequent contributor) while, that fall, Warner Music reissued an expanded version of her symphonic album, which Legrand arranged & conducted, as Legrand Affair Deluxe Edition. She has also worked widely as a concert singer, touring from Singapore to Paris with the world’s most noted symphonies and dipping into cabaret and nightclubs from Los Angeles to London. In 2020, she was seen discussing & performing selections from Sunday In The Park With George on PBS’ Poetry in America about Sondheim; she also offered special live-streamed concerts with Seth Rudetsky, and also with Adam Gopnik of The New Yorker at the French Institute Alliance Française in NYC. Melissa was recently honored with a caricature at Sardi’s in celebration of her Broadway performances and has had a steady career in television, appeared in feature films, and performed in non-musical roles in Off-Broadway plays. She is currently working on her first book, a memoir tentatively titled “Terminal Ingenue”.
