Me and My Girl combines memorable music with comic writing to create a night of pure fun and non-stop tomfoolery. The musical’s storyline focuses on a totally unrefined gentleman named Bill Snibson, who discovers that he’s the 14th Earl of Hareford. Bill and his girlfriend Sally, a fishmonger, attempt to win approval and Bill’s inheritance from his aristocratic family. Riotous chaos ensues.
Directed by CeCe Prudhomme, the Tony award-winning musical features a host of quirky characters, witty one-liners, riveting dance numbers, innovative set design and toe-tapping songs that make for an unforgettable evening for the entire family.
"It has been 30 years since Me and My Girl became a hit on Broadway. With America's fascination for the British aristocracy and the popularity of British period dramas like Downton Abbey and The Crown, we felt the timing was right to revive this wonderful British comedy classic," Stratford’s Prudhomme said.
“Our cast has loved learning the unique style and timing of British comedy. Although difficult, they’ve done an outstanding job learning the accents of both the British nobility and the working-class Cockney," said Student Director Rachel Stone.
