Mischievous musical comedy twosome MEL & EL invite all of the citizens of the universe to join them for their five-year anniversary performance at MEL & EL: OUR TIME OF THE MONTH, at 92YTribeca, 200 Hudson Street, NYC tonight, June 14th at 7:00PM.
Created and performed by funny females Melanie Kinard and Ellie Dvorkin with composer Patrick Spencer Bodd, MEL & EL: OUR TIME OF THE MONTH is as side-splitting as Bridesdmaids, as clever as 30 Rock, and as musically witty as The Book of Mormon. Hailed as "outrageous" by The New York Times and "hilariously squirm inducing" by the Village Voice, MEL & EL features new material every single month along with a very special guest, phenomenal food and drink deals, and a generous dose of the in-your-crotch comedy you've come to know and love.
To commemorate this five year milestone, Mel & El promise to deliver fan favorites such as "Fagnet" and "The Heartfelt Song", a few Woman Commercials, and plenty of new numbers and special surprises.
