MEL & EL: SHE'S MY BITCH is the debut musical comedy CD from MEL & EL - real life best friends who have known each other since they were 12 years old. Described as "a musical Laverne & Shirley meets Sex & the City" and "a female Flight of the Conchords", MEL & EL are a riotously funny duo who have quickly become an NYC cult phenomenon.

MEL & EL enjoyed a year-long NYC run of their critically acclaimed show MEL & EL: THIS SHOW RHYMES - which was
developed in conjunction with Cannery Works. Their second full-length show, MEL & EL: SHOW AND TELL, developed in part at New York Stage & Film, premiered in Spring 2009 at Ars Nova. In Fall 2009, their show MEL & EL: GAY MARRIED headlined Comix NYC and culminated in the duo being chosen as one of the Village Voice's Best of New York.

MEL & EL were also awarded the Backstage Bistro Award for their song "Fagnet" (Outstanding Musical Comedy Number) as well as the Collaboration Award given by the NY Coalition of Professional Women in the Arts and Media. They are most proud to have participated in performances to benefit The Trevor Project, the NYCLU’s LGBT efforts, The Food Bank for NYC and Habitat for Humanity.
