Broadway, Film and TV performer, and recently turned teenager Melody Hollis will perform her cabaret show Welcome To Melodyland at the newly opened Sterling's Upstairs at the Federal. Melody is one of the youngest singers ever to perform a solo one- (not quite a) woman show, which recently won critical acclaim at Vitello's nightclub in Studio City.
Melody appeared on Broadway in the original cast of Irving Berlin's White Christmas, and garnered critical acclaim and a Young Artist Award nomination for playing Annie in the Musical Theatre West production of Annie, opposite the original Broadway Annie, Andrea McArdle.
Performing professionally since the age of six, Melody has toured the country performing in theatre, film, radio, television and cabaret venues. She is also very involved in charity work with both "Kids With A Cause" and "SAG Looking Ahead program".
Conceived and directed by Bruce Kimmel, Melodyland is a fun filled trip through Broadway musicals and standards as well as original material penned specifically for her.
Melodyland was recorded live at Vitello's and released on the Kritzerland label. The recording was selected by Broadwayworld.com as one of the 3 best CDs of 2011.
With musical direction by her father, Steven Hollis, one of two elementary music specialists employed by the Burbank Unified School District, Melody proves that love of music is a family affair.
Melodyland premieres at The Federal in North Hollywood on Sunday, April 29, 2012 at 7:00 pm. For reservations call: 818-754-8700. For further information please visit: wwwmsapr.net.
