A charming and witty musical with a bright, infectious score, Me and My Girl tells the story of Bill Snibson, a Cockney from Lambeth, who unexpectedly inherits the title and fabulous wealth of the Earl of Hareford. But there?s a catch: the Earl?s will specifically states that any heir must be deemed a fit and proper person by his blue-blooded aunt, the Duchess who sets out to transform Bill into a gentleman. The will further requires the heir to marry an equally presentable wife, a description that clearly does not apply to Sally Smith, the Cockney girl Bill refuses to leave behind. The resulting hilarity will keep you laughing throughout the whole show!
Originally produced in London in 1937, Me and My Girl opened on Broadway in 1986 following a major West End revival, won three Tony Awards, and ran for over three years. This hilarious musical is filled with energetic songs and dances, including “The Lambeth Walk,” “Leaning On a Lamppost,” and “Me and My Girl.” With a cast of over 50 and a full orchestra this Village Light Opera Group production is not to be missed!
