ABERDEEN’s AOC Productions are Lambeth Walk(ing) to the Tivoli Theatre next week with their upcoming production of Me And My Girl.
The classic 1930s’ musical Me and My Girl sees wealthy aristocrat Lord Hareford pass away and his will reveals the shocking news that he has an illegitimate son and, therefore, heir to Hareford Hall.
They discover that he is Bill Snibson, a costermonger from Lambeth.
Most of the family want nothing to do with him, but the Duchess of Dene is determined to make a gentleman of the young man but he must part from his sweetheart, Sally.
All does not go to the Duchess’s plan and the musical comedy is peppered with classic songs including The Sun Has Got His Hat On and The Lambeth Walk.
The show’s famous songs including Leaning On A Lamppost, The Sun Has Got his Hat On and The Lambeth Walk made it a big hit on original release, and it was even more successful in the mid 80s, winning two Olivier Awards for the show and actor Robert Lindsey, as well as three Tony Awards for its 1987 Broadway run.
The AOC Productions version features a cast of 31 as well as an 11 piece orchestra.
Director Aaron Thom commented: “We are all thrilled to be bringing the classic musical Me and My Girl to the Tivoli stage next week.
"The show will delight audiences young and old because it has such a witty script, which was updated by the inimitable Stephen Fry.
Me & My Girl runs from Wednesday, May 31to Saturday June 3 at 7,30pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm. Tickets can be purchased via thetivoli.com and https://www.aberdeenperformingarts.com.
