About This Event

Tony Award-nominee, singer and actress MELISSA ERRICO, brings her new evening of song entitled "THE SECRET DIARY OF MRS. SANTA" to Catalina Jazz Club, Hollywood! Join us...

LIVE! Tues, December 16th at 8:30PM. Dinner begins at 7:00PM. 

Blending beloved American Songbook classics with fresh takes on holiday favorites, this enchanting debut finds Errico embracing her long-held fascination with the life of Mrs. Santa, who at last sitsdown to pen her long-overdue memoir. Through a playful and heartfelt song list, she reveals the untold story of the Santas’ courtship, their life at the North Pole, and even a cheeky flirtation with the head elf who stays behind.

Expect romantic mischief (“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”), the joys of toy-making (“When She Loved Me”), and a heartfelt reconciliation (“I’ll Be Home for Christmas”). The evening sparkles withselections like “Rudolph,” “Always True to You in My Fashion,” and “Sleigh Ride,” alongside clever parodiessuch as “Too Darn Cold” and a hard-swinging “Holiday Feeling,” all brought to life with a fiery jazz trio.

Led by acclaimed pianist BILLY STRITCH, this is a holiday show bound to be remembered, at least until next December!

Errico was proclaimed, at her Carnegie Hall debut in 2022, as “a unique force in the life of the New York theater—there’s no one quite like her!"

ABOUT THE ARTIST: 
Melissa Errico is a Tony-nominated actress for her mentor Michel Legrand’s “Amour” on Broadway—and the star of such Broadway musicals as “My Fair Lady,” “High Society,” “White Christmas,” “Les Misérables,” and more— she has, in recent years, come into her own with concerts and cabarets that tour the world, seamlessly blending witty, engaging storytelling with the sublime singing that led Opera News to dub her “The Maria Callas of the American musical theater."

Stephen Sondheim and Legrand, among others, have been the subjects of her solo concerts—her 2019 album “Sondheim Sublime” was hailed byThe Wall Street Journalas “the finest solo Sondheim album everrecorded.”

She is currently touring her new album, the acclaimed “Sondheim in the City,” which will culminate in her London solo concert hall debut at Cadogan Hall on July 12, 2025.
