Ukiah Symphony presents Irving Berlin's "Annie Get Your Gun"
"Annie Get Your Gun" is a popularized version of Annie Oakley's life (1860-1926) as a 'rootin tootin' rifle shooting performer in "Buffalo Bill's Wild West" show at the turn of the 20th century. The music and lyrics were written by Irving Berlin, and sister and brother, Dorothy and Herbert Fields, wrote the book. Roseanne Wetzel, Ukiah native and local favorite will be playing/singing the part of Annie and Pedro Rodelas of the San Francisco Opera will be returning by popular acclaim to perform the role of Frank Butler, Annie's love interest. Roseanne and Pedro will by joined by members of the Ukiah Symphony orchestra and a community chorus. "Annie Get Your Gun" was a hit on Broadway in 1946 and later was adapted for film and television. Hit songs from the musical include: "There's No Business Like Show Business", "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly", "You Can't Get a Man with a Gun", "They Say It's Wonderful", and "Anything You Can Do."
