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."

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.
