Following from hugely successful capital city seasons of her stage show DORIS, Schneider is bringing the songs from the show that audiences love so much to new territories in concert format.

Melinda Does Doris – A Tribute to Doris Day will be at the Albury Entertainment Centre on August 20 and tickets went on sale this week.

Her love affair with Doris Day began when, in childhood, Melinda laid eyes on Calamity Jane, Doris Day’s 1953 film tour de force.

“She was such a huge talent” she enthuses now, “a triple threat as they say – she could sing, dance and act.

“I thought then she was the best of everything a woman can be and when I grew up I wanted to be just like her.”

The concert includes hits such as Sentimental Journey, Que Sera, Sera, Everybody Loves a Lover, Secret Love and songs from Calamity Jane, Love Me or Leave Me and The Pajama Game.

“I am really excited to be able to bring this wonderful music to smaller centres” Schneider says.

“I am constantly being asked ‘when are you bringing the Doris music here Melinda?’, and by putting together this concert version of the show, it all becomes possible.”
