~ About The Show ~

Doris Day was an iconic singer, actress, and animal activist. From her early years, singing with the Barney Rapp Orchestra and Les Brown & His Band of Renown, to her years in Hollywood and later television (The Doris Day Show); she has won the hearts of people all over the world.

Drawn to Ms. Day’s bubbly nature and crystal clear vocals, Amanda Scalici grew up listening to Ms. Day’s many albums. She was first introduced to Ms. Day’s work through watching Romance On The High Seas with her father- guitarist Robert Scalici. To quote the classic film, it was “magic”.

Amanda’s voice has been described as a “lilting soprano” with “incredible tambour”. She has perfectly blended her own unique style and a tribute to Ms. Day’s iconic energy into every song. While she does not impersonate Ms. Day, audiences will be thrilled to hear their favorite hits performed with a refreshing energy. The tribute features many classics from Ms. Day’s early years in radio and Hollywood- such as “Sentimental Journey”, “Lullaby of Broadway”, and “Secret Love”; mixed with hidden gems that are sure to become new favorites. This father-daughter team is not to be missed.
