Upper Dublin School District's "Annie Get Your Gun" A Hit

Upper Dublin High School’s production of “Annie Get Your Gun” has received rave reviews in local media.

Philly.com reports on the school’s adaption of the classic story:

Welcome to the wild west, where sharp shooting and show business are all the rage. Impressive lead actors, strong vocals, and a fun ensemble helped make Upper Dublin High School’s production of Annie Get Your Gun a darn tootin’ good time.

Annie Get Your Gun tells the story of Annie Oakley, a sharpshooter in the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show, and her romance with fellow sharpshooter Frank Butler. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1946, and was revived in 1966 and 1999. The 1999 revival received two Tony awards: Best Revival of a Musical and Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical. The award winning show has a book by Dorothy and Herbert Fields and music by Irving Berlin.

The story was brought to life by Upper Dublin’s enthusiastic ensembles of showgirls and cowboys. Their strong vocal and dance skills were displayed in countless numbers including “Moonshine Lullaby,” “My Defenses are Down,” and “I Got the Sun in the Morning.” Their fun-loving attitudes were infectious.

The play was also featured in the Montgomery County News.
