One Local Broadway Star Is Staying Close To Home For the Holidays

MAMARONECK, NY — Her December 17, concert at the Emelin Theater in Mamaroneck will be something of a homecoming for Bronxville resident Melissa Errico.

The Tony Award-nominated Broadway star and singer will be joined on stage by iconic pianist Billy Stritch (who is well-known for his work with stars like Liza Minnelli) in a holiday "Broadway Celebration" concert. Stritch brings his own cabaret virtuosity to match Errico's gravitas as a performer that The Wall Street Journal called "incomparable."

Errico's impressive Broadway resume includes starring roles in shows on The Great White Way, including My Fair Lady, Les Misérables, Dracula, and Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. You might have also caught her featured role in Showtime’s Billions.

She will take the Emelin Theater stage to deliver an evening of holiday performances that promise to be as joyful and diverse as they are touching and emotional. The holiday show is billed as a rare chance to see Errico "singing and swinging her way through holiday classics, Christmas favorites, and great American standards."

She will also spin a few tales that could help make a night at the theatre, a holiday memory that will last a lifetime. Errico will let us in on the secret of why the best holiday songs are always recorded in mid-July and she will explain how they’ve been mostly written by American Jewish songwriters.

Errico has a highly anticipated new album coming out early next year. It is entirely possible this might be the last chance for us to see a hometown hero in such an intimate setting.

Melissa Errico & Billy Stritch: A Broadway Celebration is set for Dec. 17, at 8 p.m. The Emelin Theater is decked with boughs of holly. So, don your gay apparel and grab a seat.

Tickets ranging from $50 to $75 can be purchased at the Emelin box office.
