“Mel & El are amazing. The show strikes the perfect balance of wacky hilarity, touching sweetness, and raw writing and musical talent.”

The producers of MEL & EL: THIS SHOW RHYMES have announced a giveaway. Every single audience member at their New York Musical Theatre Festival concert at Ars Nova on Friday, September 28th at 8PM will receive a Limited Edition Fagnet Magnet ABSOLUTELY FREE!  Mel and El took action after the overwhelmingly positive response to their dance hit “FAGNET” (‘F – A – G plus Magnet equals FAGNET!’) by commissioning these commemorative magnets because they wanted to be able to give enthusiasts something tangible to take away with them. “So many women have identified with the concept of being a Fagnet,” said Melanie Adelman, performer and co-creator of the show. “We thought it would be nice to offer them a visual reminder of the concept.” Ellie Dvorkin (El) added, “The expression ‘fag hag’ has such negative connotations. We decided to reclaim our proud status as fruit flies or fairy princesses by creating a catchphrase that could be said with a smile!”   Mel and El maintain that the magnets make a lovely addition to any metal surface, but they both agree that refrigerator doors, though obvious, are ideal. To ensure that you are one of the lucky recipients of a Fagnet Magnet, go to www.nymf.org or www.arsnovanyc.com to make your reservation today. You can also call the NYMF box office at (212) 352-3101. To hear songs, see show clips and learn more about MEL & EL: THIS SHOW RHYMES, visit www.myspace.com/thisshowrhymes.
