The Threepenny Opera at Williamstown, MA

"'It is especially gratifying to watch Ms. Errico bring her trademark ethereal charm down to earth in her portrayal of the demi-virginal Polly…..Ms. Errico has never before seemed so beguilingly erotic." — Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"Melissa Errico has always been a performer of impressive technical precision and that serves her well in creating the character of multiple surfaces; she lends her talents impressively to the demands of Brecht and Brechtian technique... Playing Polly, the love interest of the crook Mack the Knife, she's an ingénue trying on a variety of personalities, from giggly floozy to pouty brat to tough Broad. Even when we are buying into her character, we're always aware of Errico's skill." -- Gordon Cox, Newsday
