Annie Oakley is the best shot around. And when she's discovered by 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 the dashing shooting ace Frank Butler. 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.
Annie Get Your Gun has music and lyrics by Irving Berlin, original book by Herbert and Dorothy Fields, revised by Peter Stone. Way Off Broadway’s production will run September 5 – October 11, 2014, and will be directed by the theatre’s Executive Producer, Bill Kiska, with music direction by Jordan B. Stocksdale, and choreography by Dee Buchanan.
