Melinda Schneider is a huge fan of the legendary Doris Day. She's returning to the stage for a tribute to this legend of stage, screen and song who died earlier this year, aged 97. A Farewell To Doris will be staged at Arts Centre Melbourne on 13 September 2019.

In 2010, Melinda released the acclaimed tribute album Melinda Does Doris – A Tribute To Doris Day, following this she wrote an original theatre show, Doris Day – So Much More Than The Girl Next Door with David Mitchell. After this successful show, she returned with a concert production, Melinda Does Doris: A Tribute to Doris Day and in 2016, she released a second Doris album, Melinda Does Doris … Again – The Movie Songs.


Before Doris Day – So Much More Than The Girl Next Door was staged, Melinda sent Doris the script: "I wanted to make sure she was happy with the way we had portrayed her, and she came back giving me the thumbs up, which made me very happy."


A Farewell To Doris will feature the wonderful 20-piece Young At Heart Orchestra and include such timeless hits as Que Sera, Sera, Sentimental Journey, Everybody Loves a Lover and Secret Love plus classic songs from the movies Calamity Jane, Love Me or Leave Me and The Pajama Game as well as a number of Doris' big band standards.

This heartfelt tribute A Farewell To Doris by Melinda Schneider will take place at Arts Centre Melbourne on 13 September 2019.
