The song list for this tale of the famous and legendary sharpshooter Annie Oakley and her rival and love interest Irish born Frank Butler reads like a “Broadway’s Greatest Hits” compilation, including unforgettable tunes like There’s No Business Like Show Business, Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better, and I’ve Got the Sun in the Morning and the Moon at Night – just to name a few.

It’s a healthy and hearty family-friendly comedy filled dose of Americana at its all round best, featuring Annie and fellow legendary western icons Buffalo Bill Cody and Big Chief Sitting Bull, among many others.

“We are very excited to kick off what most certainly promises to be an exciting and fun packed western production for Banbridge Musical Society with one of the most popular and iconic musicals in theatre history which the Banbridge residents will not want to miss,” said Rosemary Kelly Chairperson for Banbridge Musical Society.

“This is a show for all generations, combining an embarrassment of musical riches and comedy gold with a wholesome and uniquely American story that makes it a great way to dive into summer. It’s Irving Berlin at his very best, presented by a cast that, in true Banbridge Musical Society tradition, features extraordinary talent from around the Banbridge area.

Familiar faces will include Lorraine Jackson–Brown in the title role, who Banbridge Musical Society audiences will remember from her acclaimed stage presence as Sally Smith in the 2013 production of ‘Me and My Girl’. Also returning is Kilian Foy, who is a rising star from Newry, who played Joseph in Newry Bosco drama group’s production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. Killian will be playing opposite Lorraine in the role of Frank Butler. The cast is also full of talented local favourites.

“This will be an evening of pure fun and hearty entertainment, whether you know this show like the back of your hand or are discovering a Broadway treasure for the first time,” Leonard Anderson said.

“Great songs, great story, great talent…and pure enjoyment – all the things that make people fall in love with theatre in the first 
place.”
