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
