In this wild production, audiences will meet the fearless, gun slingin’ Calamity Jane, the biggest mouth in Dakota and always up for a fight. Don’t be fooled, she’ll charm you hog eyed, especially when trying to win the heart of the dashing Lieutenant Gilmartin or shooting insults at the notorious Wild Bill Hickock.

 

However, when the men of her hometown Deadwood fall hard and fast for star of the Chicago stage, Adelaide Adams, Calamity finds it hard to keep her jealousy in its holster. Her heart’s a thumpin’… but who for?

 

This production of Calamity Jane from The Watermill Theatre features direction from Nikolai Foster, co-direction and choreography by Nick Winston and musical supervision from Olivier, Grammy and Tony Award winner Catherine Jayes.

 

With sure-fire classic songs ‘The Deadwood Stage (Whip-Crack-Away)’, ‘The Black Hills of Dakota’, ‘Just Blew in from the Windy City’ and the Oscar-winning hit ‘Secret Love’, what are you waiting for, you wild coyotes? Whip-crack-away and book now!

 

In addition to Bristol, Calamity Jane will drop by theatres in Aylesbury, Manchester, Sunderland, Leeds, Cardiff, Birmingham, Nottingham, Brighton, Norwich, Edinburgh, Liverpool, York, Wimbledon, Southend, Sheffield, Blackpool, Glasgow, Leicester, Plymouth, Dublin and more.
