Melisa Errico in White Christmas

Just got an email, courtesy Melissa Errico's mailing list. I could not be happier.

"Dear friends,

Just an update on what has become a wonderful new chapter of life: from three daughters to a new show on Broadway!

I am just speechless with gratitude to be returning to the Great White Way, and wanted to make sure I didn't forget to spread the word to all my loved ones (who will say that yet again, I didn't tell them about something!).

So, here I am letting you know!

hugs and massive gratitude to the universe,
melissa

Melissa stars in the Rosemary Clooney role of a lifetime on Broadway in WHITE CHRISTMAS opening at the Marquis Theater. Based on the smash Irving Berlin musical 1954 film, it arrives on Broadway in 2009."

I may see it this time around! Love Melissa Errico!!!

I am thrilled! Melissa is a true talent. I never tire of listening to Amour.

So glad she is finally returning to Broadway. Melissa Errico is outstanding! So excited to see WHITE XMAS again.

OK, I love Melissa Errico, but am I the only one who finds this to be an odd casting choice? I don't think she has the right type of voice for the part. Her voice is beautiful, but for some reason I can't hear her singing the role.

Also heard today at the Flea Market Beth Leavel & Rachel Dratch will be joining the cast. Interesting...

Beth Leavel as "Martha" is BRILLIANT casting.

Didn't Beth just join the cast of Mamma Mia?

She will be on a crazy treadmill of shows if she goes from Mamma Mia to White Christmas to Minksy's.
