In 2002, when she was cast in the Kennedy Center production of the musical, a musical that had already won the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and was nominated for 10 Tony Awards, Errico had an idea for her character. Instead of singing the epic song, “Color and Light” at a makeup table as Dots before her had done, she had a different idea.
Sondheim consulted on her 2018 record, “Sondheim Sublime.” Then in 2022, a year after he passed away, she made her Carnegie Hall debut co-starring in a Broadway concert with the New York Pops, performing several Sondheim songs to honor him.from Concord Theatricals Records. Produced by Rob Mathes who has produced many artists including Sting, Elvis Costello, Carly Simon and Bruce Springsteen, the record focuses on Sondheim’s New York stories while Errico embodies a mosaic of New York characters.
For Errico the record embodies what she adores about Sondheim’s work. “It seems to me that he’s somehow both the wittiest and the wisest of the great songwriters. You sing something like “Uptown/Downtown” with its crazy internal rhyme scheme, or something really clever and naughty like “Can That Boy Foxtrot.” And you just shiver at his virtuosity,” she says. “But then you come upon something as truthful and painful as “Sorry Grateful “ or “Being Alive” and you submit to his honesty.
