Original Book by Herbert and Dorothy Fields, As Revised by Peter Stone
Rough-and-tumble Annie Oakley is the best shot around. When she’s discovered by Buffalo Bill and persuaded to join his Wild West Show, Annie is plucked from obscurity and becomes the toast of Europe. Annie meets her match in Frank Butler, Buffalo Bill’s leading man and star marksman. Annie Get Your Gun follows the journey of Annie and Frank, revealing their competitive natures as they vie for best shot - and each other’s hearts. This fictionalized version of the life of real-life sharpshooter Annie Oakley and her romance with Frank Butler boasts a score of Irving Berlin gems including "There’s No Business Like Show Business,” “I Got Lost in His Arms,’ “I Got the Sun in the Mornin’,” “Anything You Can Do,” and “They Say It’s Wonderful.”
