Sharp-shooting Annie Oakley returns to the West End for one night only
Irving Berlin’s hit musical Annie Get Your Gun celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. To celebrate, there will be a special one-night only concert production at the London Palladium. It is the UK’s first ever concert of the show, taking place on 1 June.
Annie Get Your Gun - The 75th UK Anniversary Concert will be led by Amber Davies (9 to 5: The Musical, Bring It On) as sharp-shooter Annie Oakley, Julian Ovenden (Downton Abbey, The Crown, Bridgerton) as love interest Frank Butler and Trevor Dion Nicholas (Hamilton, Aladdin) as soldier, hunter and showman Buffalo Bill.
Amber Davies said: “Annie Oakley is a legend and I feel honoured to be part of such a special concert production celebrating the music of Annie Get Your Gun.”
Annie Get Your Gun first opened on Broadway in 1946 and then transferred to London’s West End a year later in 1947. The story celebrates the fictionalised version of the real-life sharp-shooter Annie Oakley and her romance with Frank Butler. This new concert production will feature Irving Berlin’s iconic classic score from this musical including ‘There’s No Business Like Show Business’ and ‘Anything You Can Do’.
Tickets for the Annie Get Your Gun - The 75th Anniversary Concert go on sale 14 April at 10am here.
