A razzle-dazzle musical with a bright, infectious score! Charming and witty, "Me and My Girl" tells of a Cockney lad who inherits the title and fortunes to the Earl of Hareford. This beguiling musical is filled with energetic dancing lilting songs, including "The Lambeth Walk," "Leaning On a Lamppost," and "Me and My Girl." The show was the recipient of three Tony Awards and five Drama Desk Awards.
LA Times by By
David C. Nichols
Old-fashioned flair enlivens "Me and My Girl," continuing Musical
Theatre West's 50th anniversary season in Long Beach. This revival of the
1984 revision of Lupino Lane's 1937 London hit is a breezy delight, courtesy
of director-choreographer Roger Castellano and a marvelous ensemble.
COMPLETE REVIEW
Orange County Register By Eric Marchese
Long Beach staging of the retro musical is lavish, enjoyably frothy old-fashioned
frivolity.
COMPLETE REVIEW
Backstage West By
Les Spindle
Musical Theatre West pulls out all stops to produce a solid rendition of
this slight but entertaining confection.
COMPLETE REVIEW
Press Telegram by Alessandra Djurklou
Musical Theatre West's latest effort, "Me and My Girl," is one of those
shows only a curmudgeon would pan. It's colorful, silly, upbeat, with catchy
songs and dances (including the '30s answer to the macarena, "The Lambeth
Walk" ') and plenty of signature British wit.

REVIEW
Grunion Gazette By
Priscilla Munson
With roaring laughter, generous applause
and a standing ovation at the sold-out opening of "Me and My Girl," it is
clear Musical Theatre West has another winner on the Carpenter Performing
Arts Center stage.

Daily Forty-Niner
By Jill Thomsen
"Me and My Girl" is quite simply an old-fashioned musical delight.This
Musical Theatre West production is the story of a 1930's cockney lad who
inherits a fortune and must prove himself to be "An English Gentlemen" before
he can get his hands on the money. To complicate matters the new aunt Duchess
in his life feels his fiance is unsuitable for his new title as well.

Los Alamitos News Enterprise By Andrew C.
Lachina
If you ever wanted to experience genuine
English musical comedy, this production will save you thousands of dollars
by avoiding the burden of having to make a trans-Atlantic trip to obtain
such an experience.
