Me and My Girl Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Me and My Girl is a popular British stage musical, composed by Noel Gay.It was originally performed at the Victoria Palace theatre in London, in 1937, and starred Lupino Lane. At first attracting little notice, the production gained immediate success after a matinee performance was broadcast live on BBC radio, following the cancellation of a sporting event. Me and My Girl went on to run for a phenomenal 1,646 performances. The show's showstopper, The Lambeth Walk has the distinction of being the only popular song to be the subject of a leader in The Times. In October 1938 one of its leaders read 'While dictators rage and statesmen talk, all Europe dances - to The Lambeth Walk.'
Me and My Girl was revived in 1952, and again in 1984, when it ran for eight years at the Haymarket and Adelphi theatres in London from 1984, later going on tour throughout Britain, and transferring to New York's Broadway.
