SUMMARY:The Story of a Rose: A Musical Reverie on the Great War
DESCRIPTION:DOUGHBOY FOUNDATION \nto present a One-Night-Only Event\nIndustry Showcase & Booking Premiere\nCreated by and Starring Tony-Award nominated \nBroadway star\, singer\, and writer\, MELISSA ERRICO in \nTHE STORY OF A ROSE: A MUSICAL REVERIE ON THE GREAT WAR  \nLearn MoreNEW YORK\, NY — \nTony-Award nominated Broadway star\, singer\, and writer\,  Melissa Errico will perform an exclusive industry presentation of The Story of A Rose.  Taking place during the APAP|NYC 2026 conference\, this special event is designed specifically for venue owners and presenters to evaluate the production for future booking opportunities. This “lyrical theatrical experience” weaves together personal family history\, rarely heard wartime tunes\, and early jazz-ragtime flair to reflect on the human cost of WWI.  This is an industry insider event\, including excerpts from the full production. \nCreated by and starring Errico\, The Story of a Rose is an intimate and lyrical theatrical experience that weaves together music\, storytelling\, and history to reflect on the human cost of the Great War. Through song and reflection\, the piece explores love\, loss\, and remembrance\, offering audiences a poignant meditation on a conflict that reshaped the modern world but is too often forgotten.  \nKnown for her luminous Broadway performances (My Fair Lady\, High Society\, Amour) and her acclaimed work as a concert and recording artist\, Errico brings both emotional depth and historical curiosity to this deeply personal project. The presentation offers a rare opportunity to experience the work in a theatrical setting before a live New York audience. \n“This evening is about remembrance\, reflection\, and honoring the voices of those who lived through the Great War\,” said Errico. “It’s a privilege to share this piece in partnership with The Doughboy Foundation.” \n“We are deeply honored and thrilled to present The Story of a Rose with the incomparable Melissa Errico. Through her luminous voice and deeply personal storytelling\, Melissa brings the spirit\, music\, and humanity of World War I to life\, reminding us why these stories—and these sacrifices—must never be forgotten.”  Founder of Doughboy Foundation\, Daniel S.
