Melody Portnoy is an actor, singer, and self proclaimed Beatles enthusiast. Growing up, she spent more nights sleeping in a tour bus bunk than an actual bed!

Since graduating, Melody has made her 54 Below debut, Off- Broadway debut at the Triad Theatre, recorded the original demos of Psykidz by Bobby Cronin as Magnolia, and participated in numerous readings of developmental new musicals. She has also performed as Olive Ostrovsky in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Katherine Plumber in Disney's Newsies, Catherine in Pippin, Hermia in A Midsummer Nights Dream, and others!
