Overview

Bill Snibson, a Lambeth costermonger, is revealed to be the new Earl of Hareford and his newly-discovered aristocratic relations are horrified. Bringing him to Hareford Hall, they attempt to educate Bill into the ways of the gentry and to separate him from his cockney girlfriend Sally. The result? Chaos of the most comical kind! With a host of hilarious characters, witty one-liners and several toe-tapping, uplifting songs (including the famous “Lambeth Walk,” “The Sun Has Got His Hat On” and “Leaning On A Lamp Post”) Me and My Girl is a sublime and sunny treat for all fans of musical comedy!
