Featuring a veritable 'greatest hits' list of Berlin's music-including 'There's No Business Like Show Business,' 'Moonshine Lullaby,' and 'Old-Fashioned Wedding'--Annie Get Your Gun is loosely based on the life story of sharpshooting star Annie Oakley and her husband, crack shot Frank Bulter. Debuting on Broadway in 1946, Annie Get Your Gun enjoyed long-running success in New York City and London and most recently was revived on Broadway with Bernadette Peters and Tom Wopat in the lead roles.
