Southampton Arts Center will present a special concert — “Melissa Errico Sings the Summer” on Sunday, September 1, at 7 p.m.

Errico, a Tony Award-nominated actress, singer, author (and Hamptons favorite) has starred on Broadway in shows like “My Fair Lady, “ “High Society,” “Dracula” and “White Christmas.” At the September 1 performance, she will deliver a dazzling set of beloved standards with a series of witty and sometimes wicked stories about a girl’s — and then a woman’s — life on the Great White Way. Singing from the American Songbook, “Melissa Errico Sings the Summer” is a charming and rueful account of one woman’s passionate love for, and life lived richly within, the brightest lights of musical theater. The concert will feature songs by Lerner & Loewe and Rodgers & Hart, alongside show-stopping standards and the most powerful songs by her long-term collaborators, the late and much-missed musical theater legends, Stephen Sondheim and Michel Legrand, including some songs from Errico’s new Sondheim album, “Sondheim in the City” just released with Concord Records.

Tickets for “Melissa Errico Sings the Summer” are $75 to $125 at southamptonartscenter.org. Southampton arts Center is at 25 Jobs Lane in Southampton.
