Curtain Call Theatre
Annie, Get Your Gun
ANNIE GET YOUR GUN scored a bulls eye when it returned to Broadway in 1999, starring Bernadette Peters and sporting a revised libretto by Tony, Oscar and Emmy winner Peter Stone. As Newsday reported, Stone’s revisions "are sweetly ingenious, and the show is a dream." Stone reshaped the 1946 book to create a Wild West show-within-a-show that frames the ageless "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better" love story of sharpshooters Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. Stone has added a secondary romance between the younger sister of Frank’s bothersome assistant Dolly, and a boy who is (to Dolly’s horror) part Native American. "The book has been updated in ways that pass p.c. muster," reported Time Magazine, "without losing all the fun." Joined to the new book, of course, is that amazing Irving Berlin score, featuring hit after hit after hit. "Irving Berlin’s greatest achievement in the theater," wrote the New York Post, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN "will always be a musical for the ages, one of the Broadway theater’s enduring triumphs."
We will be doing the Peter Stone revised version. This great Irving Berlin musical includes such well known songs as: "There’s No Business Like Show Business", "Doin’ What Comes Natur’lly", "I Got the Sun in the Morning", "Anything You Can Do (I can do better)" and many more.
Performance Dates: July 11, 12, 18 & 19 at 7:30 PM and July 20 at 2:00 PM
at New Prague High School Auditorium.
