Melissa Errico To Sing Stephen Sondheim Classics In NY And London

Errico will perform at 54 Below in NY on June 20 and 21; the latter will feature Len Cariou, Sweeney in the 1979 production of ‘ Sweeney Todd.’ Her July 12 show in London will be at Cadogan Hall.

Tony Award-nominated performer Melissa Errico is bringing her talents and the music of the incomparable Stephen Sondheim to top stages in New York and London this summer.

Tonight and tomorrow night (June 20 and 21) she will sing songs written by Sondheim at 54 Below, the Broadway supper club, while she will perform a “Sondheim in the City” program at Cadogan Hall in London on July 12, her debut in that hall.

54 Below said her shows there would present “a sparkling evening of (Sondheim’s) sublime songs side by side with engaging stories of his craft and life. Errico’s admiration for her friend and teacher — she refers to his wisdom and inspiration as ‘life-saving, sheer joy, giving us all creative courage’ — is always evident. This…engagement is a preview of her upcoming concert hall debut in London.”

Errico, 54 Below continued, “worked with Stephen Sondheim on productions of Sunday in the Park with George, John Doyle’s hit production of Passion, and Do I Hear A Waltz? at City Center. She played the Baker’s Wife in a concert run of Into the Woods. She has sung Sondheim on PBS, ‘Finishing the Hat’ for Poetry in America and on her own filmed solo special. She sang and spoke at a tribute to him in her Carnegie Hall debut in 2022 with the New York Pops. She has made two all-Sondheim albums, with a third on the way.”

The June 21 54 Below performance, which will be livestreamed, will feature Tony Award winner Len Cariou, the Sweeney in the original 1979 Broadway production of Sweeney Todd.
