Melisa Errico in White Christmas#1

Posted: 9/27/09 at 2:51pm

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 actually see it this year, then. Not to denigrate motherhood, but I'm glad to see her back where she belongs.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

This is so exciting! I missed the show last season so now I'll definitely make it a point to go see it with her. Love her!

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

Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

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.

Beth Leavel as "Martha" is BRILLIANT casting.

"Hurry up and get into your conga clothes - we've got to do something to save this show!"

That's what I assume she's going in as which puts a big smile on my face. :)

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.

Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Beth Leavel and Rachel Dratch are both a part of MINSKY'S.

Are you sure you're not getting that show mixed up with WHITE CHRISTMAS, Jordan Catalano?

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
