The late Viscount Hareford had a youthful, unfortunate marriage - and kept discreetly out of sight was a son and heir
The Hareford Hall set are despondent when the family solicitor finds the legitimate heir in Lambeth
There is a cockney invasion of the hall - Bill, his girlfriend and his mates, and the Lambeth Walk is danced by all
"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" ~ New York Times
"A honey. It has humor, music, dancing, charm, wit and a deft expertise and that takes your heart away" ~ New York Post
"The freshest and funniest musical to hit Broadway in ages" ~ Newsweek
Me and My Girl premiered on Broadway at the Marquis Theatre in New York City, August 10, 1986
Directed by Mike Ockrent and choreographed by Gillian Gregorey
