Tony-nominated Broadway star and longtime Bay Street favorite Melissa Errico returns with her acclaimed new concert event The Streisand Effect: Melissa Sings Barbra — a funny, glamorous, and deeply personal evening inspired by the music, mystique, and emotional power of Barbra Streisand. Joined by legendary pianist Billy Stritch — a longtime Streisand collaborator and one of cabaret’s great leading men — and a swinging quartet, Errico explores the rich musical world shared by Streisand and her own artistic journey through the songs of Michel Legrand and the Bergmans, Marvin Hamlisch, David Shire, Stephen Sondheim, and the Great American Songbook.

Following its sold-out New York debut, The Streisand Effect played Los Angeles and Las Vegas to critical acclaim, with audiences embracing its blend of beloved classics, jazz-inflected arrangements, intimate storytelling, and witty theatrical conversation. Streisand favorites including “People,” “The Way We Were,” “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers,” “The Music That Makes Me Dance,” and “Send in the Clowns” become part of a larger reflection on ambition, longing, reinvention, artistic influence, and finding one’s own voice.

Broadway World called Errico “a compelling interpreter of classic material,” praising The Streisand Effect as “a deeply personal and musically rich new concert experience…a layered musical narrative that reflects on mentorship, independence and the enduring power of interpretation.” Vegas critic Debbie Hall wrote: “The result is a concert that doesn’t imitate. Instead, it illuminates.”

A celebrated interpreter of Sondheim and Michel Legrand, Errico continues a remarkable international season this summer with her debut at London’s legendary Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in July with The Summer Knows: Melissa Errico Sings Michel Legrand, following last year’s sold-out London concert-hall debut at Cadogan Hall. After Bay Street, The Streisand Effect continues on to Provincetown Town Hall.

“Melissa is one of the most powerful and expressive voices shaping today’s jazz landscape.”

“What begins as a glamorous and brilliantly-sung homage to Streisand becomes a moving tale of Errico finding her own voice — and making it sound better, and her audience feel better, than ever.”
