The Last
Winter Production:
ANNIE GET YOUR GUN
Music and Lyrics by
Irving Berlin
Book by Herbert & Dorothy Fields
Annie Oakley
Phoebe Ann Mosey was an American sharpshooter and exhibition
shooter. Oakley's amazing talent and luck led to a starring role
in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, and propelled her to become
the first American female superstar. Using a 0.22 calibre rifle
at 90 feet (27m), Oakley could split a playing card edge-on and
put five or six holes in it before it touched the ground.
The musical Annie Get Your
Gun is very loosely based on her life. The original production
starred Ethel Mermen, who also starred in the 1966 revival. The
1950 film version starred Betty Hutton.
