On Friday night at Carnegie Hall, The New York Pops orchestra performed a top-notch program celebrating the revolutionary musical partnership of composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II with guest vocalists Max von Essen and Laura Michelle Kelly, and the Essential Voices USA chorus.
“Me and My Girl” is a fizzy, frothy, and funny British musical from the 1930s, updated in the 1980s, presented with period pizzazz as part of City Center’s Encores! concert series. With a fancifully simple story and charming, if forgettable score, this show offers pure lighthearted escapism. If you’re looking to think, skip it, otherwise, serious musical theatre fans should catch this chance to see a classic.
