AUGUST 9, 11, and 12
AT THE COLONY THEATRE IN BURBANK

The Colony Theatre in Burbank has announced a four-performance engagement of Doris and Me, A Musical Tribute to Doris Day starring Scott Dreier from August 9–12. Doris and Me is directed by Ovation Award-winner Richard Israel. This engagement follows Dreier’s recent performance at Doris Day’s 96th birthday celebration in Carmel, CA, which was a benefit for the Doris Day Animal Foundation.

Doris and Me is a joyful celebration of the music, life, and career of Doris Day and one  man’s quirky obsession with America’s sweetheart. In his multiple-year Eddon Award-winning and BroadwayWorld.com’s Critics Choice performance, Scott Dreier transports audiences and guides them on a nostalgic sentimental journey. If you’re a Doris Day fan, this is a must-see; if you have yet to be introduced to this timeless legend, you’ll be a devotee by the end of this uplifting, tuneful, funny, and loving musical tribute.

Scott Dreier has made his living as a professional performer for 20 years in theatre, TV, commercials, voiceover, film, recording, and cabaret. He has directed several productions of Forever Plaid, most recently in February 2017. As a performer, Dreier is best known for playing Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors (12 productions). Tours and regional productions include Smudge in the San Diego company of Forever Plaid, Harold Hill in The Music Man, Side by Side by Sondheim (Desert Theatre League Award), the Baker in Into the Woods, Bud Frump in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, JP Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Old Globe Theatre), and First Date (LA Stage Alliance Ovation Award nomination for Best Ensemble of a Musical). Dreier’s self-titled debut CD of Big Band, Broadway, and Pop songs featured a duet with TV’s Katey Sagal (Married with Children, Sons of Anarchy). He has been the guest vocalist for the Pasadena Pops and he sang back-up for Barbra Streisand at two of her LA concerts.
