War Horse opens to Rave Reviews

Mirvish's production of "War Horse" has opened to rave reviews and Melanie's role as the Song Woman with Fiddle is being singled out as one of the many stand out performances of the show:

"Through it all, the soaringly symphonic score of Adrian Sutton contrasts with the simple songs selected by John Tams, sung here with poignant effect by Melanie Doane." - Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star

 "The manner in which traditional songs (performed principally, in this production by the multi-talented Melanie Doane, who does wonders with voice and violin) are deftly woven into the narrative, uplifting it into anthem, is masterful." - Pat Donnelly, Vancouver Sun

Melanie in The National Post

Melanie and her ukulele music program were recently featured in a National Post article about the Toronto music scene:  

Juno-winner Melanie Doane is from Halifax, where her father received the Order of Canada for bringing music programs into schools. “I grew up with this at my fingertips,” says Doane, a mother of two currently appearing in the play War Horse. “After moving to Toronto, my kids had a wonderful music teacher, but no ukulele program. I decided to volunteer.”
