In ‘Amour & After,’ Melissa Errico Continues Her Love Affair With Composer Michel Legrand

“I learned from Legrand that I can freely jump styles, even within the song,” imparts Broadway, concert, cabaret, and recording artist Melissa Errico. She is referring to one of her long-time collaborators, the prolific and marvelously eclectic film and stage composer Michel Legrand, who passed away a little over two years ago at the age of 86 after a nearly seven-decade composing career.

Errico, who appeared in Legrand’s Broadway musical debut, “Amour,” for which she was nominated for a Leading Actress Tony Award, explores Legrand’s rich oeuvre of Oscar- and Grammy-winning film scores in her upcoming show, “Amour & After: Melissa Errico Sings the Music of Michel Legrand” at the Crown & Anchor in Provincetown, Massachusetts (August 4-5), and at the Cotuit Center for the Arts in Cotuit, Massachusetts (August 6).
