The sound of a lonely saxophone, the melancholy patter of midnight rain, the velvet black of a city at night…and one perfect lonely chanteuse in a strapless gown… there’s one word for it: Noir. Its music is essential to the Noir mystique, in vibrating circles of moody inspiration, and to celebrate the release of her new Warner Music/Ghostlight Records album Out Of The Dark: The Film Noir Project, Tony Award-nominee Melissa Errico will offer a special ENCORE concert May 11 at 7pm at Feinstein’s/54 Below.
“Seventy-five minutes of exemplary musical storytelling…between the famous songs from films like “Jennifer” and musicals like “City of Angels,” Ms. Errico glides effortlessly back and forth between historical facts that one suspects she did not need to research, already having them in her mind, and personal anecdotes the like of which serve as the bedrock for every Melissa Errico performance. The facts are fascinating and the extemporary is exciting, indeed, every moment of Out Of The Dark is fascinating and exciting, not to mention a festival of fastidiously prepared musical excellence. Errico sounds like a billion bucks, landing on every perfect pitch with unfathomable technique, both vocally and thespianically…with Out of the Dark, Melissa Errico has reached new heights.” – BroadwayWorld
