Set in the 1930’s, the Earl of Hareford has died leaving no apparent heir. The family members have gathered eagerly awaiting to hear how the estate will be split when the family solicitor, Parchester, announces that he has tracked down an heir to both the family fortune and the family seat of Hareford Hall. The unlikely beneficiary is one Bill Snibson, a pugnacious Cockney from Lambeth!
One of the terms of the will is that the heir must be deemed a fit and proper person so Maria, Duchess of Dene, decides to turn Bill into a gentleman worthy of the Hareford name – despite the advice of Sir John Tremayne to simply pay him off. Unfortunately there is another hitch – Bill’s girlfriend Sally Smith!
However Sally does not want to ruin Bill’s chances and tries to convince Bill that he is too good for her, despite loving him deeply. She even resorts to gate crashing his party with a group of raucous Lambeth locals where everyone joins in and does ‘The Lambeth Walk’.
Sally decides to leave Hareford and return to Lambeth but the Duchess soon begins to realise just how much Sally means to Bill!
Me And My Girl originally opened in the West End in 1937 and enjoyed a return to the London stage in 1985 running for 8 years winning the Olivier Award for Musical of the Year. The show opened on Broadway in 1986 and was nominated for no less than 13 Tony Awards.
Its unforgettable songs including ‘Me and My Girl’, ‘The Sun Has Got His Hat On’, ‘Once You Lose Your Heart’, ‘Leaning on a Lamppost’ and of course the show stopping ‘The Lambeth Walk’, coupled with larger than life characters, energetic choreography and a wonderfully witty storyline makes it one of the most successful musicals ever.
