“You might think Ms. Errico’s strongest asset is her beauty, meaning both sonic (those amazing chops) and visual (that face which, despite her own protestations in self-penned articles in the New York Times, would still empower her to play ingenue roles into her 50s) but in actuality, it’s her irrepressible enthusiasm. She loves New York in all its facets and, In mixing the highs and the lows, the glorious contradictions, Ms. Errico gives us the Great City, warts and all, which is really the only way it’s worth singing about.In fact the imperfections are an asset, not a liability; a feature, not a bug, part of the reason why we can’t even begin to imagine living anywhere else. No one knew that better than Stephen Sondheim, and Melissa Errico knows it too. Start spreading that news some time soon.”
