On Wednesday 14 August, the Burdekin Theatre will be graced with the talents of Melinda Schneider as she returns to the stage to pay tribute to the legendary Doris Day.
As part of the Burdekin Theatre’s Morning Melodies Series, this performance will encompass a nostalgic concert celebration as Melinda Schneider stages a heartfelt tribute to Doris Day.
A legend of stage, screen and song, the world lost one of its biggest stars with the passing of Doris Day. Labelled “the girl next door” Doris left behind an incredible body of work, including iconic movies and unforgettable songs and her fan base extended across the world.
Australian singer songwriter, Melinda Schneider, will take audiences on a tour of Doris’ legacy, including timeless hits such 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 Pyjama Game, as well as a number of Doris’ big band standards.
Melinda’s move affair with Doris Day began when she saw Calamity Jane when she was just eight years old.
“I thought she was the best of everything a woman can be, and when I grew up, I wanted to be just like her,” expressed Melinda.
In 2010, Melinda released the acclaimed tribute album, Melinda Does Doris – A Tribute to Doris Day, and has since produced many more pieces in honour of her icon. Saddened by the passing of Doris, Melinda is proud to present A Farewell to Doris this August at the Burdekin Theatre, and believes Doris’ work will continue to being joy to audiences of all ages.
“Doris was multi-talented, a true triple threat: a world-class singer, dancer and actor, but it is her beautiful spirit that will stay with me,” said Melinda.
“Singing her songs and telling her incredible story of reliance has been an absolute honour, and I’m happy to have the opportunity to celebrate her wonderful talent with audiences once again.”
Tickets are $15 each and include a delicious morning tea as provided by the Friends of the Burdekin Theatre and are available now from both the Burdekin Theatre Box Office and on the Burdekin Theatre’s website.
