Broadway's Will Swenson (LES MISERABLES, Hair, Disaster!) and Ryan Silverman (Side Show, Cry-Baby, Chicago) and The Met Opera's Richard Troxell will guest star with Tony Award-nominated singer & actress Melissa Errico (Amour, White Christmas, My Fair Lady, High Society) at Feinstein's/54 Below (254 W. 54th St.) September 20-24, following her sold-out run at the venue this past April. Performance times are 9/20 at 7pm (with Troxell), 9/21 at 9:30pm, 9/23 at 7pm (with Ryan Silverman) and 9/24 at 7pm (with Swenson).

Errico returns with her brand new show 'Funny! I'm A Woman With Children' about the absurdities and ins and outs of marriage and motherhood. This acoustic evening features an eclectic rage of songs from Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Lerner & Loewe, Michel Legrand, Jason Robert Brown and more. Joined by acclaimed pianist Tedd Firth & special guests, be prepared for an evening of nothing but Melissa simply with piano, voice and guitar, putting her heart on her sleeve, asking us how we connect and bringing us all closer with her vivacious warmth and soaring vocals. Directed by Robbie Rozelle.

Tickets are $35-$80 (plus a $25 food/drink minimum) and can be purchased online at www.54Below.com.

Errico is also set to star in Irish Repertory Theatre's fall production of Finian's Rainbow from October 26-December 18. In July Melissa appeared on stage at the 2016 Democratic National Convention for Hillary Clinton performing with the Broadway for Orlando group, and earlier this year, she starred in the critically acclaimed City Center Encores! production of Do I Hear a Waltz? as well as appearing on the hit Showtime series Billions. Her 2014 performance from 54 Below "What About Today?" was also released on DVD last year and is the first-ever DVD in Broadway Records' "Live at 54 BELOW" Series. That, along with the live recording of the show, is available on Amazon and at www.BroadwayRecords.com.

Melissa Errico, Tony Award nominee, has starred on Broadway, on network television and film and is an accomplished recording artist and musical concert performer. This year she was seen as the character 'June' on Showtime's acclaimed new drama Billions starring Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti. Last season, Melissa played the recurring role of 'Catherine' on the Stephen Soderbergh show The Knick for Cinemax, and had guest arcs on Blue Bloods and The Good Wife. Her Broadway credits include starring roles in My Fair Lady, Dracula, White Christmas, High Society, LES MISERABLES, Anna Karenina and Amour for which she was nominated for a Best Actress Tony Award. She starred in Stephen Sondheim's Passion and Sunday in the Park with George.

She has released three studio albums: "Blue Like That" (EMI Records) produced by Arif Mardin, "Legrand Affair" (Ghostlight) produced by Phil Ramone, and "Lullabies & Wildflowers" (VMG/Universal Records) produced by Rob Mathes; and a recent 3-song digital single "More Lullabies & Wildflowers" to benefit her charity. Through everything, she stays devoted to her loving family including her husband, tennis player Patrick McEnroe, their three young daughters, and one Yorkie!
