A 1938 razzle-dazzle musical with a bright, infectious score! Charming and witty, "Me and My Girl" tells of a Cockney lad who inherits the title and fortunes to the Earl of Hareford. This beguiling musical is filled with energetic dancing lilting songs, including "The Lambeth Walk," "The Sun Has Got His Hat On". "Leaning On a Lamppost," and "Me and My Girl." The show was the recipient of three Tony Awards and five Drama Desk Awards.
"Has uncorked the innocence of the old-fashioned musical comedy so ingenuously that for once a theatre goer is actually sucked directly into that sunny past rather than merely suckered into nostalgia for it." - N.Y. Times.
"A honey. It has humor, music, dancing, charm, wit and a deft expertise and that takes your heart away." - N.Y. Post.
"The freshest and funniest musical to hit Broadway in ages." - Newsweek.
