George S. Irving to Star in Musicals Tonight’s Me and My Girl

Tony Award-winning actor George S. Irving will recreate his Broadway role of Sir John Tremayne in the Musicals Tonight staging of Me and My Girl, October 24-November 5 at the McGinn/Cazale Theater (2162 Broadway). The production will be directed by Thomas Mills and will feature musical direction by James Stenborg.

Written by Noel Gay, L. Arthur Rose, and Douglas Furber, the show was first seen in London in 1938, where it ran for five years. It finally came to Broadway in 1986, in a revised version. That production ran for more than1,400 performances and received 13 Tony Award nominations, including one for Irving. The plot of the show concerns Bill Snibson, who discovers he is the illegitimate son of a recently deceased aristocrat; this causes trouble for the late Earl’s other heirs and friends.

The cast of the Musicals Tonight presentation also includes Patrick Boyd, Trista Modlovan, Annette Hunt, Christopher Guilmet, Robyne Parrish, Roger Rifkin, Lydia Gladstone, John Alban Coughlan, Jonathan Osborne, Jonathan Parks-Ramage, BJ Scahill, Patrick Maubert, Jacob R. Thompson, Liliane Klein, Renee Barnett, Michelle Liu Coughlin, and Robyn S. Clark.

Irving has appeared in more than 25 Broadway shows over the past 63 years, starting with Oklahoma! and including Call Me Mister, Bells Are Ringing, Shinbone Alley, Irma La Douce, The Happy Time, and the 1983 revival of On Your Toes. He won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for his performance in Irene.
