Doris - So Much More Than the Girl Next Door is a heart-felt homage, co-written by Melinda and musical theatre scribe, David Mitchell (Dusty, Shout!). Ms Schneider traces her love at first sight of Doris Day from seeing the 1953 movie musical Calamity Jane.

Doris - So Much More Than the Girl Next Door is so much more than a re-imagining of truly great songs. Doris Day's real life story is equally rich and fascinating. Melinda and David have unearthed amazing little-known facts about Doris' journey from small-town Ohio, to the heights of Hollywood. Her four turbulent marriages, rife with abuse and finally catastrophic financial ruin, are also revealed. But throughout, the strength and sunny disposition of everyone's favourite film star shone through.
