past productions | 2001 - Annie Get Your Gun

 [The Cast] Annie Get Your Gun - Music & lyrics by Irving Berlin; Book by Herbert & Dorothy Field; First production - Imperial Theatre, New York, 16th May 1946; First UK production - London Coliseum, 7th June 1947.

Annie Oakley is the best shot around, and she manages to support her little brother and sisters by selling the game she hunts. When she's discovered by Col. Buffalo Bill, he persuades this novel sharpshooter to join his Wild West Show. It only takes one glance for her to fall head over heels for dashing shooting ace Frank Butler, who headlines the show.

She soon eclipses Butler as the main attraction which, while good for business, is bad for romance. Butler hightails it off to join a rival show, his bruised male ego leading the way, but is ultimately pitted against Annie in a final shoot-out. The rousing, sure-fire finale hits the mark every time in a testament to the power of female ingenuity.
