Blimey! Dust off your pearl jackets and practice your best "Oi!" because this week on Musical Lyrical Lingo, we are stepping back in time to celebrate pure, unadulterated musical comedy gold: the 1937 classic turned 1980s Broadway smash, Me and My Girl. How did a lost, pre-war British script get pieced back together from family attics and the BBC archives to become a massive international juggernaut? Join us as we track the wild history of this show, unpack the rich linguistic tapestry of Cockney Rhyming Slang, and find out why a working-class hero from East London completely conquered a room full of high-society snobs.

"Any time you're in Lambeth way, any evening, any day..." you'll find us talking musical theatre. Grab your bowler hat, leave your stuffy etiquette at the door, and join the fun!
