Annie Get Your Gun

A new production of the Tony Award-winning version of Irving Berlin’s classic musical, Annie Get Your Gun is to launch at the Opera House, Manchester next month, starring Jason Donovan, Emma Williams and Norman Pace.

It is being produced by Ambassador Theatre Group, the producers of the recent Barbican production of South Pacific and the Sadler's Wells production of West Side Story and as part of ATG’s Manchester Gets It First initiative, this production will receive its première at the Opera House from May 16-24 prior to a national tour.

With classic songs including "There’s No Business Like Show Business" and "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better", Annie Get Your Gun tells the story of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West female sharpshooter, Annie Oakley, and her romance with fellow sharpshooter, Frank Butler.
