Photo Flash: Melissa Manchester at The Pantages

The Actors Fund's Musical Mondays in the lobby of The Pantages Theatre continued on Monday night with a performance by recording legend Melissa Manchester. Manchester offered a varied set including her hits "Come in From the Rain," "Midnight Blue," "Whenever I call you friend" and "Don't Cry Out Loud" with selections from her newest album, "When I Look Down That Road" as well as some Broadway tunes, some oldies like "Be My Baby" and "Son of a Preacher Man" and a rendition of "There's a Boat That's Leaving Soon for New York."

Backups were done by Susan Holder and by Stephan Oberhoff who also provided percussion, guitar and keyboard backup. Manchester left the piano between songs and shared insights into the songs and the writing of songs as well as from her life.
