Melody had the good fortune of spending October 2010- February 2011 performing at the Greenbrier Resort's beautiful new casino in lovely West Virginia. While waltzing and singing in the casino nightly she was also featured in the holiday production of the CHRISTMAS CHEER CABARET in the Greenbrier's theater. Singing holiday favorites such as "Rockin' around the Christmas Tree", "Jingle Bell Rock", and "Santa Baby" it was a high energy and fun filled event.
Once the new year rolled around she was able to work with NY director Justin Cerne on the GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK SERIES. This production featured the music of composers Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, and Jerome Kern.

- "Taking place in 1939, "Soup Du Jour" tells the story of star newspaper reporter Katharine Hawks, who has to write one last expose before transferring to England. ... Melody Goodell does a very good job as the reporter. She has a lovely singing voice and nice timing, and easily throws off Katharine Hepburn- like jibes throughout." -Brad Memberto- The Santa Maria Times May 8, 2011
