Irving Berlin’s ANNIE GET YOUR GUN opened at the Imperial Theatre on May 16, 1946, and ran for 1,147 performances. It was the third longest running musical of the 1940’s and the biggest Broadway hit of Ethel Merman’s career, not to mention a Tony Award winning revival in 1999 starring Bernadette Peters. It’s the musical that told us “There’s No Business Like Show Business” where we meet sharpshooter Annie Oakley who joins a Wild West show after she falls in love with the star, Frank Butler. Of course, Frank insists that the girl he wants will “wear satin…and smell of cologne” but inevitably becomes enamoured of the tomboyish Annie. That is until Annie’s star waxes just as his is waning, but this battle of the sexes isn’t over yet. They pair up for one last duet in “Anything You Can Do”.Friday and Saturdays @ 8:00PM – Sundays @ 2:00PM
