I CAN DREAM, CAN’T I? — Songs of Love, Longing & Summertime
Sunday, August 31
Back by popular demand, Broadway star, vocalist, and writer Melissa Errico returns to Southampton with a brand new show, “I CAN DREAM, CAN’T I? — Songs of Love, Longing & Summertime.” When Melissa sings a classic, it isn’t a torch song. It’s more of a … searchlight, or even, more simply, a flashlight song: like one you take along a summer path to find the way. Errico’s voice throughout is like that summer flashlight. We may even see fireflies, dancing in the light, winking their desires, out to their lovers as pure light. Renowned jazz pianist Tedd Firth — a close friend & collaborator of Melissa for decades—— accompanies her with poetic solos that twinkle in the high grasses near the ocean. You can hear the breeze between them.
