Wednesday 23 March 1988—Saturday 26 March 1988
Annie Get Your Gun was written in 1945 and recently revived in the West End with Suzi Quatro in the lead role. The show contains many of Irving Berlin’s best known songs.
The story is based on a real life character, Annie Oakley. Annie, an unsophisticated backwoods girl with a deadly accurate rifle shot, is persuaded into show business as part of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. She meets and is attracted to the show’s other sharp shooter, Frank Butler, but the rivalry to prove who is the top attraction and the interference of other characters, drives Frank to join another show despite his feelings for Annie.
When financial problems cause the two shows to merge, Annie with the help of her friend Sitting Bull is given a chance to see if she can get her man with a gun.
