Calamity Jane

Calamity Jane at Manchester Opera House

Why see Calamity Jane?

The Whip Cracking Musical Classic

Whip-Crack Away! Carrie Hope Fletcher is steppin' into Calamity Jane's cowgirl boots for this brand-new tour of the classic musical! A free-wheelin' musical set in the Wild West, the show follows the romance between frontierswoman Calamity and folk hero Wild Bill Hickock, as they work together to restore order to Deadwood City. Soundtracked by toe-tappin' musical numbers like 'It's Harry I'm Planning to Marry' and 'Secret Love', this is one hoedown you don't want to miss!

Based on the Doris Day-starring musical of the same name from 1953, (which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song), and solidified Day's status as a Hollywood icon, this exciting new production comes from The Watermill Theatre and is directed by Nikolai Foster, co-directed and choreographed by Nick Winston and features musical supervision by Olivier, Grammy and Tony Award winner Catherine Jayes.
