On May 1, 1939, a performance was televised from the theatre, one of the first times such a thing was done. In 1940, a film version was filmed entitled, The Lambeth Walk.[1]
Me and My Girl was revived in 1952, and again in 1984, with a revised script by Stephen Fry and contributions by Mike Ockrent at the Leicester Haymarket theatre, from where it transferred to London's West End for a successful eight year run at the Adelphi Theatre, later going on tour throughout Britain. It then transferred to Broadway at the Marquis Theatre in 1986 for a long run of 1,420 performances. The production was nominated for 13 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book and Best Original Score, and both Robert Lindsay and Maryann Plunkett won Tonys for their performances. Gillian Gregory won the Tony for Best Choreography. Mike Ockrent directed the 1984 and Broadway productions and was nominated for a Tony.
A 70th anniversary production of Me and My Girl began an eight-month British tour on September 1, 2006.[2] It was directed and choreographed by Warren Carlyle with a cast including Richard Frame (Bill Snibson), Faye Tozer (Sally Smith), Sylvester McCoy, Trevor Bannister and Dillie Keane.
