Broadway and television actress Melissa Errico releases her first concert DVD, What About Today? , this week, and The Huffington Post has a sneak peek.

In this exclusive clip, the Tony nominee (Amour) performs a tender version of the Burt Bacharach tune, The April Fools.

The first in a planned Live at 54 Below series slated for release by Broadway Records , What About Today? captures Erricos April 2014 performance at Feinsteins/54 Below . Other highlights of the eclectic set, which was also released on CD in October, include the show tunes Meadowlark and Small World, as well as a groovy take on the Donna Summer classic, Last Dance.

It was a portrait, Errico, 45, told The Huffington Post of the show, which was directed by Richard Jay-Alexander . I was trying to capture what my life felt like at that time. Women try to do everything have a really good marriage, take care of themselves, take care of their children, take care of their parents. I tried to portray in that show that I was juggling a million things, plus still trying to handle what I call the insanity of show business.

What isnt immediately apparent from What About Today? is how much the Feinstein's/54 Below performance represented a professional rebound of sorts. Just one year earlier, Errico's run in the acclaimed 2013 off-Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheims Passion was cut short after she broke a small blood vessel in her throat.
