Acclaimed by Broadway World for “stringing together a mixture of holiday favorites and Broadway classics recast as holiday songs, plus a few off the beaten path,” Melissa Errico returns in radiant form, joined by jazz luminary Billy Stritch, for a dazzling and original holiday concert. Blending timeless American Songbook standards with inventive interpretations of seasonal favorites, this whimsical debut casts Errico as Mrs. Santa herself who at last sits down to pen her long-overdue memoir. Through a playful and heartfelt song list, she reveals the untold story of the Santas’ courtship, their life at the North Pole, and even a cheeky flirtation with the head elf who stays behind. Expect romantic mischief (“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”), the joys of toy-making (“When She Loved Me”), and a heartfelt reconciliation (“I’ll Be Home for Christmas”). The evening sparkles with selections like "Rudolph," "Always True to You in My Fashion," and "Sleigh Ride," alongside clever parodies such as "Too Darn Cold" and a hard-swinging "Holiday Feeling," all brought to life with a fiery jazz trio.
