ISN’T IT A LIVELY DAY?
Anna Lively celebrates the music and career of the one and only Doris Day!
Why Doris Day? Her story is fascinating… and the music… This show can be done with a piano, trio, or larger band. It runs just at one hour.
- She was the first female “crossover” artist – Big Band Singer, Recording Artist, Movie Star, TV Celebrity.
- She accomplished more by the age of 18 than some do in a lifetime.
- She was a great interpreter of the lyric, which is why she was such a great actress.
- She recorded over 1000 songs, some of which are a permanent part of our culture.
AN IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: Wherever I do the show, I donate part of my proceeds to a LOCAL dog and cat rescue group — in the town/neighborhood. And I promote and set up a donation area at the venue and encourage people to bring toys, towels, blankets, food or extra $ to donate directly to the animals as well. That’s the true spirit of Doris…and me!

This very pretty Texas import is tall, blonde, and full of rare talent… she’s vital, she’s intelligent, with a penchant for comedy and a great soprano belt… [an] understanding that belies her years… a true flair for comic timing…
– John Hoaglund, New York Native
