The director of the Benesse World Wide Kids Stage production said this about Mel: “I really liked her performance. She could sense how to perform to attract the audience brilliantly. She was the best performer of all. I was very happy with her performance!†- Director of the Benesse World Wide Kids StageFor one year she attended an intensive musical theatre course where she studied everything from original composition development and casting, to rehearsing and performing for a live audience as various cast and chorus members.
