ANNIE GET YOUR GUN celebrates 75th anniversary at the London Palladium

Smash hit musical Annie Get Your Gun is to be celebrated with a special one-night-only concert production at the world-famous London Palladium.

2022 marks the 75th anniversary of the first ever West End production of Annie Get Your Gun. Now, fans of Irving Berlin’s hit musical will be able to witness the UK’s first ever concert production of the show at the London Palladium on Wednesday June 1.

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.

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, as the two compete and flirt, with plenty of ups and downs along the way.

Celebrating this fictionalised version of the real-life sharp-shooter Annie Oakley and her romance with Frank Butler, Annie Get Your Gun – The 75th UK Anniversary Concert boasts a score of Irving Berlin classics 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’.

Annie Get Your Gun first opened on Broadway in 1946 and then in the West End a year later in 1947. Both productions were a hit and the Oscar winning film based on the musical followed in 1950.

A concert production was staged in New York in 2015 but Annie Get Your Gun – The 75th UK Anniversary Concert will be the first time a concert production has ever been staged in the UK.
