Melissa is thrilled to be onstage with Slow Burn and the Broward Center for the first time - and returning to Cherry Tree Lane for the fourth time! South Florida audiences may have seen Melissa as Louise in Gypsy at the Wick last year. Other favorite credits include The Sound of Music (Maria), Silent Sky (Henrietta Leavitt), and The Wizard of Oz (Wicked Witch of the West). At home in Orlando, Melissa makes magic at the theme parks and occasionally performs her tribute show Yesterday Once More: A Tribute to the Carpenters. “[It was] something frightening and at the same time most exciting.” -P.L.
