22nd-27th September 2008
Howdee Pardners, come and join us for a gun totin’, rip roarin’ Stetson wearin’ musical feast as we mosey down to where Annie Oakley and the Wild West show have pitched camp.
The story is a classic boy meets girl, then girl loses boy because she “can’t get a man with a gun”. She joins Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show to find “there’s no business like show business” and eventually gets “lost in his arms” – “doin’ what comes naturally”! You’ll find with Annie Oakley that “anything you can do, she can do better”.
Annie Get Your Gun is full of fabulous songs, it has spectacle, humour, Red Indians and sharp shooter contests, so roll up and buy your tickets for the best show in town.
