Synopsis
A costermonger is suddenly elevated to the peerage. Lambeth Walk, The Sun Has Got His Hat On, Me and My Girl and other songs. First seen in 1937, when it ran for an amazing 1646 performances, Me and My Girl swept first London's West End and subsequently Broadway in the mid 1970's following its updating by Stephen Fry and Mike Ockrent, and proceeded to win almost every award going.
Our Review:
19 June 2012
It might have had a change of musical director, the elements might be conspiring to dampen the atmosphere, but the tidal wave of exuberance that typifies Kilworth House Theatre productions is just as strong as ever.
This beautiful, stylish open-air venue, tucked away in the grounds of a sumptuous country house hotel in Leicestershire, maintains its enviable track record of summer productions with the Lambeth Walk musical Me and My Girl.
Originally written in 1937, it got a shot in the arm with a West End revival in 1985 that starred Robert Lindsay and Emma Thompson, and a newly crafted book courtesy of Stephen Fry. Sensibly, it is this version that Kilworth is using, although there’s no escaping the fact this is a thoroughly dated show.
Therein, of course, lies much of its selling power, attracting those with rosier-tinted views of nostalgia to a hit-filled score that also includes The Sun Has Got His Hat On and Leaning on a Lamppost.
But that is hardly doing justice ...
