A costermonger is suddenly elevated to the peerage. Lambeth Walk, The Sun Has Got His Hat On, Me and My Girl and other songs. First seen in 1937, when it ran for an amazing 1646 performances, Me and My Girl swept first London's West End and subsequently Broadway in the mid 1970's following its updating by Stephen Fry and Mike Ockrent, and proceeded to win almost every award going. Definitely a case of third time a charm as Showtime Challenge 3 follows on from the resounding success of Into the Woods, hosted by actor and director Mel Smith, and Sweet Charity, hosted by TV presenter Gail Porter. Now for their third strike, Eyebrow Productions presents a one-night-only performance of the musical Me and My Girl, again entirely rehearsed in 48 hours. Showtime Challenge is unique in providing an opportunity for fantastic singers, actors and dancers currently in full-time work to participate, as the 48 hour rehearsal period allows the best of the best to be involved without having to worry about accommodating lengthy rehearsals. Showtime Challenges 1 and 2 saw employees from education, nursing, catering, the Ministry of Defence and investment banking joining professional performers on stage. Established artists also welcomed the chance to perform in a great venue with a crack team of directors and a professional orchestra. Showtime Challenge is proud to donate all profits to the Anthony Nolan Trust. The Anthony Nolan Trust runs the UK's most successful bone marrow register.
