Doris Day's next Dog?



Doris Day

We have exciting news. Barbie is going to be attending a PAWDITION to play a part in Doris Day - So Much More than the Girl Next Door next Tuesday at the Regal Theatre. It's a musical narrative tribute to Doris Day by a country singer, Melinda Schneider. It's a very short season, there's a daytime performance on Wednesday (that's right, the day after the Pawdition!), and then it runs for 5 nights.

Melinda is going to pick the dog she wants to be on stage with her. All the role requires is that the dog can walk across the stage and then sit on a chaise lounge and be sang to. Melinda has starred with her own dogs in previous shows, but they are quite elderly now so the trip to Perth from Sydney would be too much for them.

I have ordered Barbie a new martingale and some red doggie nail polish to get dressed up for the auditions. I just hope she doesn't get freaked out by the theatre, but if she can cope with the environment she would be great, and it would get a lot of attention for other Greyhounds who are waiting for their redeployment papers.

About to become a superstar?

How exciting!! Can't wait to hear how Barbie gets on. Hope she gets her chance at fame. We watched an old Doris Day TV special the other night from the 1970s where she introduced her dogs and sang to them. One of them was a Schnoodle - a cross between a Schnauzer and a Poodle. He was very very lovely - but he did look like a poodle wearing a fancy dress false beard.

Love and licks, Winnie

All – how EXCITING!! I'm sure Barbie will handle it beautifully – she will look so amazing sitting sitting in a chaise longue on stage – ha ha! And what a wonderful coup it will be for greyhounds, a fantastic promotion for the breed. All the best of luck for Barbie! We'll be thinking of her next Tuesday and keeping everything crossed! :-)

You must remember to take a camera and get lots of "backstage" pictures! :-) We want to get a blow by blow account!

Oooo. Good luck with your audition! Theater is such a lovely thing to do ^^ (I have been in theater making plays about 6 years, but at the moment I just been in the cloakroom and haven't done any acting for two years. I miss it).

That is so cool! I hope Barbie gets the part! It may sound easy but walking across a stage surrounded by people and lights, and then relaxing on a chaise, is actually ridiculously hard for most dogs. My Shiva will never make it to a theatre. Barbie on the other hand, being a graceful and elegant greyhound, is the stuff a doggie star is made of! I will be wishing you luck!

I have never been able to see anyone so beautiful just like this Barbie doll the doris that is here. I really like to know more about the history of such stunning personality all the time.
