Newsweek called “Me and My
Girl” “one of the freshest and funniest musicals to hit
Broadway in ages.” The show’s most famous number is “Doin’ the
Lambeth Walk,” a true anthem to British music hall comedy.

hilarious antics of “Me and My Girl”
are directed and choreographed by Don and Bonnie Ward. The Musical
Director will be Dr. Terry O’Donnell. “Me
and My Girl” also features lighting designed by Chrissie Munich
and costumes coordinated by Roz Lehman. Sound design is credited to M.
Scott Grabau.

National Tour. Jamie has Broadway credits of “Cats” (Mr.
Mestoffelees), “Beauty and the Beast” (LeFou), and “Man of La Mancha”
