Me and My Girl

Me and My Girl is a delightful musical comedy that originally premiered in London's West End in
1937 later revived with revisions in 1985. The 1985 revival is the version that finally came to
Broadway and gained significant popularity and is the one most commonly performed today.
Set in the 1930s, Me and My Girl tells the story of Bill Snibson, a cheerful and unrefined cockney
from Lambeth, who discovers he is the long-lost heir to the Hareford fortune and title. However,

Sally Smith, whom he loves dearly. The comedic plot revolves around Bill's attempts to navigate
high society while staying true to himself and his roots. His new-found aunt, Maria, the Duchess
of Dene, feels that with a little grooming, Bill will be suitable to inherit the title -- and the money.
However, Bill refuses to accept the title if cannot keep Sally as his girl. Eventually, Sally herself is
transformed -- a la My Fair Lady -- and Bill is allowed to inherit the title and keep his girl.
