Jane Horrocks for new musical in London

Annie Get Your Gun is set to be performed in a West End theatre for the first time in 18 years.

The famous show will star Jane Horrocks in the gun-slinging role of heroine Annie Oakley.

From October 3rd, people will be able to head to the Young Vic theatre in limousines to see the musical.

Julian Ovenden is co-starring in the production, having previously appeared in musicals including Marguerite and Merrily We Roll Along.

The songs in Annie Get Your Gun have gone down as all-time classics, including There’s No Business Like Showbusiness, Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better), Doing What Comes Naturally.

However, a plot involving a contest to get into Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show keeps the action moving along at a fast pace.

The Prince of Wales Theatre was the last London theatre to stage the musical in 1992, while it was debuted on Broadway in 1946.
