By any standards, DOIN' IT FOR LOVE, presented as a benefit for the Lensic Performing Arts Center in Santa Fe, was a rare, delicious treat. For two nights only, on July 20 and 21, three of the most well known names in show business - Kaye Ballard, Liliane Montevecchi and Lee Roy Reams - teamed up to deliver a delightful, nostalgic stroll down memory lane. . .
BroadwayWorld has seen and covered many concerts over the years, but never have we witnessed anything like what we saw on stage at City Center on Saturday night, June 2nd.
Last night, Melissa Errico blew the roof off of JOE'S PUB with another knock-out performance to a sold-out crowd, besting her impressive November show. With plenty of Broadway pals and other luminaries in the audience, Broadwayworld was there and brings you exclusive performance shots and backstage snaps, taken after the show. The concert was Directed by Richard Jay-Alexander and the Musical Director was John Oddo.

Last night the Broadway at Birdland stage was home for a true insider event, when Liza Minnelli and Sam Harris gave the lucky packed house a sneak-peek at their new duo project, 'Schmoolie & Minnooli: Works in Progress.'
Saturday night, November 19th, Melissa Errico made her long awaited return to solo concert-ing at the newly renovated (beautifully) Joe's Pub. The venue was packed with family, friends and fans who, pretty much, went wild when she walked up onto the stage. She was accompanied by an unbelieveably expert trio of musicians led by the legendary John Oddo. The evening's music program was extremely well chosen and beautifully performed and sung. Errico's patter, storytelling and anecdotal skills were also on show, in top form and wildly entertaining.
