Melissa returns to the Borgata on the Fourth of July and once again delivers an impassioned, energetic performance. The show was 2 hours and 45 minutes long with no intermission. She framed the evening by telling her life story, prefacing many songs with anecdotes, thoughts, and feelings from different stages of her life, from her roots in Kansas, through various relationships and her recent bout with cancer. The set spanned her entire nine-album, 20-plus-year career.
