Me and My Girl

Me and My Girl must surely rank as the quintessential English musical, and this was a most entertaining production, well suited to this company’s talents.  Set in the late thirties, which was contemporaneous with its original production; one might argue that the story is timeless.
Musical accompaniment was to a very high standard as usual.  Chorus voices were well drilled with very good enunciation.
The director also stepped into the small part of Sir Jasper at short notice.  Direction set a good pace opening with a very illustrative routine to A Weekend at Hareford.  Chorus looked engaged and enthusiastic throughout. 
Bill Snibson was presented as rather more slobbish than is usual but stayed well in character throughout and was very funny.  Sally Smith gave a most moving performance of Once You Lose Your Heart – I can’t recall ever hearing it sung better.
They were supported by a strong cast and a chorus full of individual characterisation, typical of this society
