Based on the much-loved Doris Day film, this foot-stomping new production features all the classic songs including The Deadwood Stage (Whip-Crack-Away), The Black Hills of Dakota, Just Blew in from the Windy City and the Oscar-winning Secret Love.
Meet the fearless, gun-slinging Calamity Jane – the biggest mouth in Dakota territory and always up for a fight.
She will charm you hog-eyed though, especially when trying to win the heart of the dashing Lieutenant Danny Gilmartin or shooting insults at the notorious Wild Bill Hickok.
But when the men of Deadwood fall hard for Chicago stage star Adelaid Adams, Calamity struggles to keep her jealousy holstered.
