Friday 10 May 11:00am
Melinda
Schneider returns to the stage in 2024 to pay tribute to the legendary Doris
Day!
The world lost one of its biggest stars with the passing
of Doris Day. A legend of stage, screen and song, Doris died at age 97,
leaving behind an incredible body of work, including iconic movies and
unforgettable songs.
Doris Day, “The Girl Next Door”,
had millions of fans around the world, none bigger than chart-topping
Australian singer-songwriter Melinda Schneider, who has recorded two
albums of Doris’ songs, co-written and starred in a theatre show based on
Doris’ life, and performed sell-out tours celebrating Doris’ work.
Melinda
Schneider’s, A Farewell To Doris, is a heartfelt
tribute to Doris Day. This nostalgic concert celebration will 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.
Melinda’s love affair
with Doris Day started when she saw Calamity Jane when she was just
eight. “I thought she was the best of everything a woman can be, and
when I grew up I wanted to be just like her,” Melinda says. “Whenever
I revisit some of her old movies, I’m transported back to that place, a
place of happiness and pure joy.” In 2010, Melinda released the
acclaimed tribute album Melinda Does Doris – A Tribute To Doris Day, which
debuted at #1 on the ARIA Jazz and Blues chart, remaining there for 9
weeks.
Let's celebrate the life and music of Doris Day!
