For Video Edition, Please Click and Subscribe Here: https://youtu.be/lJnxh-1BV0Q Please join us to celebrate the release of three new CDs with Melissa Errico, Ian Herman, and Melissa Manchester! “The Maria Callas of American musical theater,” as Opera News has called her, referencing both her crystalline voice and dramatic, expressive intensity, Melissa Errico is a Tony Award-nominated Broadway star -- an actress, singer and author who contributes regularly to The New York Times, and her album Out Of The Dark: The Film Noir Project was just released by Warner Music/Ghostlight Records. First known for her starring roles on Broadway, including My Fair Lady, High Society and Les Misérables. Ian Herman began his musical career studying classical piano. At the age of thirteen he was a guest soloist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. After attending Manhattan School Of Music, Ian began working with performers including Jane Olivor, Donna McKechnie, Anita Morris, Judy Kaye, Tom Andersen, Karen Mason, Sharon McNight, Marilyn Sokol, Angela LaGreca, Carole Demas, and Joy Behar in nightclubs in New York and around the country and has continued ever since! In 1980, MELISSA MANCHESTER became the first recording artist in the history of the Academy Awards to have two nominated movie themes in a single year, “Through The Eyes Of Love” from Ice Castles and “I'll Never Say Goodbye” from The Promise, and to perform them both on the Oscar telecast. MELISSA starred in the national tours of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Music Of The Night and Song And Dance. Nominated for a Grammy in 1980 for “Don't Cry Out Loud,” she won the Grammy Award for best female vocalist in 1982 singing “You Should Hear How She Talks About You.”
Loneliness. Heartache. Emptiness. Isolation. Everything that describes film noir also describes the pandemic. When Melissa Errico first fell down the YouTube rabbit hole of film noir, she didn't expect to find a new passion. After watching hours of tragic femme fatale actresses fall trap to their fate and lonely heroes become disillusioned with society — she realized that the themes of the 1940s weren't so far away after all. A collaboration with the French Institue Alliance Francaise for a film festival further cemented this love for film noir, and most especially for the music these movies featured. Out the Dark presents 17 tracks arranged with the very heart of film noir. Songs like "Laura," "On Vit, On Aime," and "Silent Partner" capture the mystery and intrigue of those classic films. "Farewell My Lovely" showcases a beautiful lyrical setting to the tune of "Marlo's Theme," originally written by David Shire for the movie Farewell My Lovely. And, Melissa gets to star in her very own novella in the music video for "Angel Eyes" — a seven-minute watch that you don't want to miss. Listen to the full episode to hear the stories behind each track on Out of the Dark. Melissa Errico shares how her collaboration with the French Institute began, her vision for the album, and the intriguing tale behind her brand new music video.

In this episode, we chat about throwing caution to the wind to pursue “pie-in-the-sky” projects, we start the manifestation of the many projects that will surely result in a Bachelor-esque “BB3-Nation”, and an impromptu cutting session that may very well lead to a jazz spin-off of “Epic Rap Battles of History”.

She was asked to write his eulogy by The New York Times, and was then invited to become the sole American performer to participate in the extraordinary two-day memorial to Legrand held in April 2019 at Paris's Le Grand Rex Theatre. Her album of Legrand's music, Legrand Affair Deluxe Edition, appeared in 2019. In the past few years her gifts & ambitions as a writer have become increasingly expressed, with a series of much-talked-of essays in The New York Times, touching, with wit, wisdom & insider mischief, on the many unseen aspects of the theatrical profession, from the pleasures & pains of being a “terminal ingenue” to the ambiguities of auditioning to the sheer pleasure of being fitted for a costume, post-pandemic. She is currently at work on a memoir that will include & expand on these "Scenes from An Acting Life”, as the Times, in a rubric specially invented for her work, calls them. As a musical theater actress, she starred on Broadway in such musicals as My Fair Lady, Anna Karenina, High Society as Tracy Lord, Amour (Tony-nominated for Best Actress), Dracula, White Christmas in the Rosemary Clooney role of Betty, & as Cosette in Les Misérables. Melissa has maintained a constant TV presence throughout her career, starring in Darren Star's Central Park West, steady guest roles, and most recently playing recurring roles on Showtime's Billions and Cinemax's The Knick. She appeared in featured films such as Frequency with Dennis Quaid, Life Or Something Like It as Angelina Jolie's best friend, Loverboy directed by Kevin Bacon, and others.

Su salto a la fama le llegó con la película de Jacques Demy “Los paraguas de Cherburgo” en el que todos los diálogos eran cantados. Aunque compuso más de 200 bandas sonoras para el cine con las que ganaría tres Oscar ,en esta playlist daremos un repaso a sus canciones para películas como “El caso Thomas Crown” (1968, Norman Jewison), “Verano del 42” (1971, Robert Mulligan), “Con los ojos cerrados” (1969, Richard Brooks), “La piscina” (1969, Jacques Deray), “Cumbres borrascosas” (1970, Robert Fuest), "El ocaso de una estrella" (1972, Sidney J. Furie), "Amigos muy íntimos (1982, Norman Jewison) o “Primavera en otoño” (1973, Clint Eastwood).

Camp Broadway presents Develop Your Character hosted by Elysa Gardner who talks with theatre insiders about ideas to help culture-loving kids and aspiring artists become great performers at every stage of their lives. This episode features Melissa Errico, award-winning actress, recording artist and essayist for the New York Times. Melissa grew up in a home that valued education and encouraged making learning fun. By high school she was interested in “the adventure of the arts” and started auditioning. She started working professionally by age 18 and has since balanced her career on stage, television and film with her role as wife and mother of three talented children. She discusses the difference between achievement and accomplishment, as well as encourages young artists to focus more on mastering skills, pursuing self-initiated work and living life to the fullest. “Our actual life is as important as the art—everything is co-mingled.” Develop Your Character is produced by Camp Broadway for the Broadway Podcast Network.

205 Melissa Errico Melissa Errico is an actress and singer of the Broadway stage. She has starred in Broadway musicals and is also a recording artist. This in-depth interview explored the release of Melissa Errico's album Legrand Affair, a collection of songs composed by Michel Legrand. Michel Legrand was one of the greatest composers in the world as well as a songwriter, pianist, performing and recording artist. He passed away January 26, 2019 at 86 years of age. He wrote more than 200 scores for film and television as well as many popular songs like the iconic "The Windmills of Your Mind." Some of the absolute greatest singers in history recorded his songs (Frank Sinatra, Lena Horne, Sarah Vaughn). This interview was recorded and broadcast in part to promote Melissa Errico's album Legrand Affair. The album was produced by the late Phil Ramone and performed by Errico accompanied by a 100-piece symphony orchestra in Brussels. The album featured new material composed by Michel Legrand with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman specifically for Errico. As Errico says in this interview, in many ways the focus was not entirely on her. The album is almost like a duet of her and Michel Legrand. This interview is presented not only to give insight into Melissa Errico, a great singer…but, also to help us remember this exceptional composer - Michel Legrand.
