Me and My Girl

See it if you like feel-good musicals. Bowler-hats off to Encores for an exuberant evening. Strong performances (although Borle mugs like mad).

Don't see it if you want enlightenment; nothing new here. But who needs it when there is memorable music, broad comedy, energetic dancing & a happy ending?

Also A few quibbles: there's too much business with the hat (it's distracting). And people climb up on furniture too often (it's distracting). The jokes are old, but you'll laugh as you groan.... Read more Read less

See it if Classic Broadway. Lovely music and story. Great performances and dancing.

Don't see it if Sweet romantic stories are not "deep" enough for you.

See it if You like romantic musical comedies. Wonderful music. Cast has great chemistry. It's a sweet story that's very easy to sit back and enjoy.

Don't see it if You dislike romantic comedies or are looking for something serious.

See it if Despite it's hoary British vaudeville roots & old school musical tropes, still has charm Borle's bag of tricks & Carlyle's choreo work well

Don't see it if Innocuous, book heavy first act (w/Carlyle's rather flat staging) nearly defeats evening but second act roars into life (with cutsy ending)

See it if see morer

Also Score is average of my 95 % and partner's 75%
We caught the last performance. so just a few comments. A delightful presentation of a UK classic. the dances were he most impressive for me. It continues to amaze how 31 actors and even more musicians are so so so talented and all get on that stage at one time. Borle is moving on up. We have not missed a year in the 25 years. We look forward to 2019... Read more Read less

See it if nice tunes, high-spirited dancing, fine orchestra; top drawer cast including Christian Borle and Lisa Kelly; audience loved it!

Don't see it if mindless predictable plot, but who cares with a skillfully-performed, effervescent piece of entertainment like this?

See it if Classic musical comedy with great dancing and signing. You will laugh and have a great time. Good feeling show.

Don't see it if You don't like musical or classic.

See it if I loved it! Wonderful songs, A very happy, fluffy musical. Beautiful costumes. The audience LOVED it. Perfect singing & dancing. Charming

Don't see it if You want a serious storyline. You hate musicals (although I think this one could cure you of that!)

Also So much fun all the way through. Christian Borle, Laura Michelle Kelly, Lisa O'Hare (loved her blue dress), Mark Evans were all amazing as was everyone in the cast. Every song is a good one in my opinion. I saw the original production and I loved this one just as much. Wonderful to see it again. I'd see it again and know many people who are seeing it twice this week. This is a real feel good musical. Fantastic!!... Read more Read less

See it if You’d love a fluffier, more lighthearted version of the My Fair Lady story with lovely performances and choreography.

Don't see it if You hate “stupid but cute” romantic comedy musicals that can be treacly and insipid.

See it if you enjoy a light musical with great dance numbers and wonderful staging. Great cast. Encores comes thru again!

Don't see it if you like a musical with a serious plot and memorable songs. These songs are fun but not great.

Also Everyone in elevator was singing, humming Lambeth Walk on the way out! A fun time to be had by all.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see some of the best dancing in town!! Warren Carlyle's choreography is astounding.

Don't see it if you do not like featherweight musicals.

Also "Me and My Girl" gives Christian Borle one of his best roles to date . Laura Michelle Kelly is also quite wonderful, and keeps up with Borle.... Read more Read less

See it if return to classic musical comedy style, ChristianBorle, MarkEvans, HarrietHarris, LauraMichelleKelly, ChuckCooper LisaOHare will thrill you

Don't see it if dislike musical comedy, joy, actors who know how to generate laughs from an audience, want 2 stay at home & be miserable

See it if you love Encores, Christian Borle, great dancing.It's a fun show,very light book, but who cares.It's fun.Borle is brilliant.Choreography wow

Don't see it if you miss the days when Encores was less staged or if you're looking for a meaningful musical like Next toNormal,Evan Hansen.This is just fun

See it if You like slight English drawing room fare set to rather banal music with the exception of "Once you lose your heart". Laura Michelle Kelly

Don't see it if You dont want to see fluff. There is very little here to ever think of again. But for 2 hours on a rainy sunday, it was perfect.

Also The multiple references to My Fair Lady playing just up the block at LCT were cringe worthy.
I actually did like this. I found Christian Borle less fun than I usually do. Lisa O'Hare was gorgeous every time she moved. Chuck Cooper was wasted. Mark Evans was a delight especially in 'flight'. Laura Michelle Kelly's vocals never disappoint. Harris was better used in The Low Road.... Read more Read less

See it if enjoy an old chestnut revived "encores" style, great voices, choreography and fun

Don't see it if obscure old musicals do not suit your fancy

See it if You like all out musicals, lots of tap dancing. If you like Christian Borle, a must see.

Don't see it if You saw the charming Broadway production. This version has updated "jokes", it is over choreographed. Borle works hard but is clownish.

See it if a fan of the actors, old-fashioned British plays with witty physical and verbal slapstick, and/or stellar performances in an infectious gem.

Don't see it if you seek seriousness, contemporary work, or elaborate sets; dislike cockney accents or silliness (but it’s fun! You won't mind groaning!).

Also If you can’t run, “Lambeth Walk” to NY City Center to see Me and My Girl. (That Act I closing number, incidentally, is guaranteed to put a smile on your face, if there isn’t one already). As newly-rich Bill, Christian Borle is magnificent: he has the cockney swagger of a swindler without being deceptive. His songs, physicality (with and without props), and chemistry with his cast mates make clear that he’s having as much fun acting as you are watching. Laura Michelle Kelly as his love Sally is frisky, charming, and a perfect partner. Their scenes together are phenomenal, a fun-loving electricity that sparks the audience to want to get up and dance. The show is a bit dated, the ensemble comprised of “types”: but that’s part of the charm and the actors are faultless. Old-fashioned romance that survives one partner’s social climb; slapstick moments; and some exceptionally-clever writing (stunning double-entendres, puns, and wordplay) permeate this sometimes-juvenile but exuberant romp.... Read more Read less

See it if you want a tuneful, exhilarating evening in the theater. You'll walk out with a smile on your face and Lambeth Walk ringing in your ears.

Don't see it if you're looking for something more modern. This is a joyous trip down Memory Lane, happy ending and all.

Also I saw the show in the mid-80's in London with Robert Lindsay and Emma Thompson and then again on Broadway with Lindsay and Maryann Plunkett. It's one of my favorites and I knew I had to see it again. Christian Borle acquitted himself quite well and Warren Carlyle's choreography was so entertaining. This is a fun evening; you could tell the audience was so appreciative.... Read more Read less

See it if You want bright entertainment with lots of laughs and great dancing even though the show may be a bit creeky

Don't see it if You want drama or full scale productions

See it if and only if you are a fan of Christian Borle.

Don't see it if you are NOT feeling nostalgic for the 1986 Broadway musical of the same name.

Also The 1986 production earned a record 13 tony nominations and starred Robert Lindsay and Maryann Plunkett, with George S. Irving and Jane Connell. It has charm and moxy. This Encores production is a hallow shell of the original production. Oh well! Everything does not deserve to be revived, no matter how well intended the intention is.... Read more Read less

See it if Very enjoyable revival,with great singing and tap dancing.The whole cast is terrific,especially Christian Borle's performance.

Don't see it if You prefer more modern musical fare,with great technology and special effects.

See it if You want to smile and have fun. Great music, singing, dancing, social commentary. Timely as ever! When Christian Borle is onstage........

Don't see it if You are a curmudgeon or a Trumpite. If you hate pure fun, stay away.

See it if you want to see My Fair Lady with all the fun put back in it.

Don't see it if Doing the Lambeth Walk drives you absolutely nuts.

Also This peppy Encores production once again defies the logic of doing this much work for a concert version and five performances. First rate singing and dancing in charming, clever production numbers that are pure fun.... Read more Read less

See it if Great City Center production. Not dated and no missteps. Well staged. Christian Borle and the Lambeth Walk.

Don't see it if No reason not to...a total delight.

See it if You are looking for a good time. This show is pure undistilled joy.

Don't see it if You want something deep and meaningful, not escapist theatre.
