Fiddler On The Roof
at North Shore
It was an incredibly meaningful experience making my North Shore Music Theatre debut this past June, playing Hodel in the 60th anniversary production
of Fiddler on the Roof.
・・・
“Melody Munitz brings great depth to Hodel as well as a comic touch. Melody’s soprano voice soars in 'Matchmaker' and is especially gorgeous in the gut wrenching 'Far from the Home I Love.'"
- Tony's Corner
"As Hodel, Melody Munitz is vivid, direct, evocative, with a strong dramatic presence, and does a great job in making 'Matchmaker' a terrific moment.
But her most vivid vocal capacities come through in her wonderful solo ballad
'Far From The Home I Love.'" - Boston Arts Diary

American Girl National Tour
I had the time of my life leading the American Girl National Tour, originating the role of Madison - the newest American Girl character who (pinching myself) was inspired by me! It was a wild dream come true and honor to be "the voice of the new generation" (Mattel, Inc.).

It was so fulfilling to originate the lead role of GPT-4 (yep, the chatbot!) in this fascinating, genre-bending new play about the role of AI in society. Being part of the play's development for nearly two years was such an exciting meld of my theatrical & scientific passions,
and getting a gleaming NY Times review was a thrill!

Melody Munitz plays the A.I., giving embodied voice to its words. Munitz wears a vest with haptics and LED lights that is linked with an EEG headset that generates BCI (brain-computer-interface) instructions for movement, an element that has an increasingly important effect as the play--along with Munitz's impressive and progressively physical performance--proceeds.
