The production will be directed by Anna Mackmin will include a reconstructed script by scripywriter Stephen Russell which will be based on the 1985 revival by Stephen Fry.

Me and My Girl is a musical with book and lyrics by Douglas Furber and L. Arthur Rose and music by Noel Gay. It takes place in the late 1930s in Hampshire, Mayfair, and Lambeth. The musical had a successful original run on the West End in 1937 and very successful revivals in both London and New York in the 1980s. The show stopper, "The Lambeth Walk", was the subject of a news story in The Times of October 1938: "While dictators rage and statesmen talk, all Europe dances - to The Lambeth Walk."
