The raucous revival that celebrates the wildest woman in the Wild West.
Welcome to the rough-and-tumble town of Deadwood, where swaggering sharpshooter Calamity Jane is mocked and admired in equal measure. Deadly with a whip or a quip, her bluster and bravado mask a longing for something deeper.
Cabaret daredevil Naomi Price slips into Jane’s trail-worn boots for this rootin’, tootin’, unruly and unpredictable ride — a bold reimagining of the classic musical that brings a barrelful of dirt, grit and heart to the stage.
Join Calamity’s piano-fuelled posse and pull up a stool at one of the on-stage saloon tables to be part of the action. This intimate, immersive experience ropes audiences right into the story, making every performance a must-see event.
This revival features all your favourite numbers — including “Secret Love” and “The Black Hills of Dakota” — but this ain’t Doris Day’s Calamity Jane, no siree. This stripped-back staging shucks off the buckskin and digs deeper into the grit, humour and heart of the frontier legend.
Hailed as “outstandingly clever… gut-bustlingly funny [and with] an extraordinarily generous heart” (The Australian), saddle up and ride before dawn, ’cause these here tickets will fly out the door faster than you can crack a whip!
