SONDHEIM CONCERT REVIEWS
“She sings beautifully. Her familiarity with the way Sondheim’s songs work to advance character and story in vivo naturally informs her in vitro style, which is actorly to begin with. An attention to the lyrics and their rush of harsh "wisdoms" was Ms. Errico's keynote. She refreshed cabaret staples, and lightly jazzed others, demonstrating how the meaning that is locked in tiny verbal gestures can be released with bold phrasing." – The New York Times

“Stunned into an amazing feeling of having witnessed something life changing, life enhancing and of incredible beauty…an unforgettable evening. Her artistry is beyond superb. She is quite the Maria Callas of the American Musical, illuminating this music like no other. The show was simply a lesson in greatness and interpretive genius, not to mention beautiful music making.” – Opera News

“Melissa Errico has that very rare combination of beauty, humor, graceful motion on stage and, of course, the marvelous sound of her voice. She has a lovely soprano sound, and her voice rises to the occasion...her love of Sondheim’s work comes through in every song and her excellent enunciation makes each of Sondheim’s lyrics especially meaningful. She shows great confidence on stage and her Sondheim concert is meaningful, dramatic and often hilariously funny!” – Cabaret Scenes

“Errico quickly had a full house eating out of her hand as she intersperses personal stories about her subject with 18 great Stephen Sondheim songs. Every number is a joy… There is a wonderful stillness about Errico when she performs, leaving the songs to speak for themselves, complementing the purity of her voice. Songs apart, she’s undeniably funny. The anecdotes tumble out in this well-rehearsed show with some inspired arrangements by musical director Tedd Firth.” – Musical Theater Review

“This show took audiences on a journey that transcended vocal craft…with a magic that lifted the audience far off the ground. Through Errico's unique combination of insights and talent (and also her surprising gift for gutsy humor), she manages to make Sondheim both profound & engaging and importantly, entertaining and enjoyable.” – BroadwayWorld

“A glorious evening, a voice that knocks your socks off, a rippling stream of clear, crystal notes with a beautiful cadence and a purring, rich vibrato. Add to this her genuineness and humor and you’ve got a voice and personality that captivates the heart & soul.” – Theater Pizzazz

“Any chance to hear Melissa Errico sing is a chance worth taking.” – The New York Times
