Melissa Nally, 24, and Andrew Hanley, 23, of Green Elephant Theatre Co. premiered their musical adaptation of Orpheus & Eurydice at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Now they’re bringing the (brotherly) love to Philly Fringe, and not looking back; take note ill-fated (and now, melodious) Orpheus.

Orpheus & Eurydice is co-written by Andrew and Melissa, with music by Andrew.

Name: Melissa Nally and Andrew Hanley.

Show Title: Orpheus & Eurydice.
