"My Doris Day" includes songs from 1940 to 1970 and the journey that Doris took from her first gig at a Chinese restaurant in Cincinnati to becoming the number one female vocalist of the last century. The Music is reminiscent of the original recordings, but updated in astonishing vocal arrangements and musical accompaniment. Fall in love again with the voice that whispers in your ear as you experience her music and words presented by five performers who portray her devoted fans. A sentimental journey through the recording career of Doris Day.

The cast of five top singers and actors include Rob Barnes, Quanda Johnson, Jennifer L. Neuland, Bjorn Olsson and Michael Ursua. My Doris Day is directed by Jerry Goehring and written by Patty Carver and Leo P. Carusone, with musical arrangements and direction by Leo P. Carusone, and additional arrangements by Michael Ursua. Produced by Pierre Patrick, Associate Producers are Howard Green, Bob Mellor, Stephen Munns and William Surette.

America's living legend, Doris Day, graciously retired from the industry more than twenty years ago to focus on animal issues. This year, A&E asked its audience to vote for its most popular personalities and Doris Day was voted the number one female entertainer.

Doris is emerging in a new century as still one of the most important vocal artists. She is the number one female recording artist still today with seventy-five charted hits, two albums at number one for a total of twenty-eight weeks, twenty top ten hits and Doris also remains the number female box office star of all time!

Doris's last appearance in New York was at "The Little Club" in 1947. This year, five of Broadway's best will be presenting Doris's music in an intimate and personal setting for a limited engagement. Doris has given her blessing to the creators of this celebration since the beginning. The show was presented first in London during the winter of 1996, and then had its U.S. premiere in Boston in the autumn of 1996, which was followed by the inaugural production of Garry Marshall's new theatre in Los Angeles in 1998.
