Tony nominee Melissa Errico, known for her incredible voice and vivacious stage presence, will grace the Bay Street Theater stage on December 10 to perform Season for Joy, an evening of holiday fun and music. Errico talks about life as a performer during the pandemic, her new single and more.

How have you kept the performer in you going during the pandemic?
Well, the pandemic paradox for me is that I’ve probably been doing more performing during the pandemic than I would have done had the world stayed sane. I was supposed to go on a big tour in support of my Michael Legrand album, Legrand Affair Deluxe, even London and Paris, but it would have been a walk in the park compared with what I’ve actually done looking into a lens in my bedroom. There’s been a huge appetite for entertainment—Zoom shows and one-woman recitals and benefits for struggling theaters and original cast recording launches and the Stephen Sondheim birthday celebration and even a full-length Zoom musical, not to mention new “singles” and videos to support them. And all from my study with the kids downstairs! I am excited to be a part of Meet Me in St. Louis with Irish Rep, which airs December 11–January 1, a “performance on screen” with a wonderful cast, all shot on green screen studios built in our separate apartments and homes. In truth, I’ve probably been busier with the world shut down then had it stayed open, which is a lesson of a kind—home is where the art is.
