This reviewer was thrilled to be able to get a glimpse into the amazing world of Michael Feinstein.

As soon as Melissa Errico entered Broadway’s supper club, 54 Below, with her megawatt smile, dressed head to toe in sequins and a giant bow, this reviewer knew it was going to be a great night!

Last night, 54 Below favorite Melissa Errico opened her new show BROADWAY BABY- FROM MANHASSET TO MANHATTAN & BEYOND.

A dazzling evening of pure vocal, instrumental, and theatrical bliss occurred on the evening of October 21,2023 when the renowned Broadway veteran and entertainer Brian Stokes Mitchell wowed the crowd at the Music Center at Strathmore.  This two -time Tony Award winning talent showcased versatility to the max and he delivered an upbeat spirit of positive energy and goodwill that made his impeccable talent even more appealing. (His hope was to make the audience feel better by the end of the concert—then they had felt when they had come in, --- and this hope was fulfilled).

She’s got the talent, she’s got the show biz smarts, she’s got the love for performing, she communicates, and she’s in command.
