Staged to great acclaim in the Temperance Hall back in 2000, St Mel’s Musical Society are back to delight the audiences with ‘Me And My Girl’ with Liam Brady (Bill Snibson) and Lindsay Dann (Sally Smith) in the leading roles.
25 years ago the principal parts were played by the brother and sister combination of Benny and Christine O’Brien and there is tremendous interest in the current production of the much loved show that will run for six nights in St Mel’s College Sports Hall from Easter Monday April 21st to Saturday April 26th.
A lot of hard work is going on ‘behind the scenes’to create another major triumph for St Mel’s Musical Society and tickets go on general sale this Thursday February 27th: Booking: gr8events.ie
The Director for ‘Me And My Girl’ is the vastly experienced Peter Kennedy who lives in Co Galway while Longford maestro Fintan Farrelly returns to the role of Musical Director after a few years break.
The new Choreographer is Cork School of Music graduate Dylan O’Keeffe while completing the production team is the accomplished Stage Manager Eddie Kiernsn who has enjoyed a long association with St Mel’s Musical Society.
Featuring such favourite musical numbers as ‘Leaning on a Lamp Post’, ‘The Lambeth Walk’, ‘The Sun Has Got His Hat On’ and the theme song ‘Me And My Girl’, along with other classic tunes, this is a show not to be missed and early booking is advised for a seat in the fully tiered venue.
Me and My Girl is a musical with music by Noel Gay and its original book and lyrics by Douglas Furber and L. Arthur Rose. The story, set in the late 1930s, tells of an unapologetically unrefined Cockney gentleman named Bill Snibson, who learns that he is the 14th heir to the Earl of Hareford. The action is set in Hampshire, and in Mayfair and Lambeth in London.
This crowd-pleasing, tuneful musical comedy – about a playfully quick-witted Cockney bloke who discovers he’s inherited an immense family fortune – was a smash hit in the West End and on Broadway.
