WESTWOODHAY FESTIVAL OF GARDENING
June 24th – 28th
Annie Get Your Gun at the NewTheatre Oxford
The producers of the recent Barbican production of South Pacific
and the Sadlers Wells production of West Side Story present a major
new production of this Tony Award-winning version of Irving Berlin’s
classic musical, Annie Get Your Gun, starring Emma Williams as
Annie Oakley, Jason Donovan as Frank Butler and Norman Pace as
Buffalo Bill.
A star of stage and screen, and having performed on the musical
theatre stage across the globe, Jason Donovan has appeared in
hit musicals including Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Sound
of Music, War of the Worlds and Joseph and The Amazing
Technicolour Dreamcoat. Now he will appear as Frank Butler in this
new version of the classic Broadway smash hit. Jason is joined
by Emma Williams as Annie Oakley. Emma is the twice Olivier
nominated star of Chitty, Chitty, Bang Bang and Love Story. Her
other credits include Sunset Boulevard and Sweeney Todd: The
Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Jason and Emma will be joined by
the much loved Norman Pace as Buffalo Bill, who most recently
starred in the West End production of Chicago.
With timeless 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 legendary story of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West
female sharpshooter, Annie Oakley and her romance with fellow
sharpshooter, Frank Butler. When Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show
comes to town, it only takes one glance for sharp-shooting country
girl Annie Oakley to fall head over heels for its star marksman, Frank
Butler. Both have truly met their match, revealing their competitive
natures as they vie for best shot – and each other’s hearts. Now,
Howard Panter and The Ambassador Theatre Group are thrilled to
be producing this version on tour across the UK, bringing this much
loved musical to a new generation of theatre-goers, with a brilliantly
talented cast. Time: 7.30pm with 2.30pm matinees on Wednesday,
Thursday and Saturday.
