Jim Caruso's Cast Party and TheaterMania.com are proud to announce the glorious homecoming of celebrated vocalist & Tony Award-nominated actress Melissa Errico on Tuesday, December 18, 2007 with back-to-back shows at 8:30PM & 11PM, as part of the long-running, critically-heralded and popular concert series Broadway at Birdland.

Melissa Errico returns with a fresh new show, "Blue Skies and Lullabies", directed by acclaimed cabaret star Mary Cleere Haran, in which she will perform songs from her upcoming album "Lullabies and Wildflowers," to be released Mother's Day 2008 on the Velour/Universal Records label. Her new Birdland concert additionally will feature classics and standards from songwriters including Judy Collins, Gershwin, Sammy Kahn, her brother Mike Errico, and, exclusively this evening, a special emphasis on the legendary Irving Berlin. Perfectly in tune with the holiday spirit, the one-night-only engagement will swing with gentle joy and Errico's trademark pop-jazz arrangements of theater and folk classics and original pop material.

Errico was Cosette in the first national tour of Les Miserables and later appeared on Broadway in My Fair Lady, Anna Karenina, High Society, and Dracula the Musical. However, it was her starring role in Michel Legrand's Amour for which she won a 2003 Tony Award nomination as Best Actress in a Musical. Errico also appeared in the 2004 Off-Broadway production of Finian's Rainbow.  Errico is married to her childhood sweetheart, tennis pro & U.S. Davis Cup team captain Patrick McEnroe.
