"Annie Get Your Gun One of the Best Show Ever at Music Circus"

“Everything, including the play, cast, choreography, direction, costuming and set design, comes together to produce a near-perfect show of Annie Get Your Gun, which opened at Music Circus Tuesday night."

”It was easy to hear the audience cheer on the relationship between Frank and Annie, Watts and Malone received huge ovations to their duets, including ‘The Girl That I Marry’ and ‘Anything You Can Do.’"

“Broadway and Music Circus veteran director Gary John La Rosa not only stages the musical numbers beautifully but does a great job with the plot scenes."

“All of the production team are at their best game, producing a great look and sound. Music Circus always does a great job with their shows, but with Annie Get Your Gun they have really outdone themselves. They have taken one of America’s most iconic musicals by one of the most revered composer/lyricists, cast it perfectly and applied the best Music Circus production values to create what is definitely a must-see show of the summer."

4 Stars! Music Circus' Annie Get Your Gun hits the mark

“It's very tempting to call Beth Malone’s clever, engaging performance of Annie Oakley a bull's-eye, so let's just do it. Malone hits the mark in every way, including originality, while bringing the great American sharpshooter to life in the Music Circus production of Annie Get Your Gun.”

“The object of her affection, Edward Watts' old-fashioned Frank Butler, makes a strong complement with matinee handsomeness and lush tenor. The pairing of these two could easily carry lesser material, but they are matched with Irving Berlin’s incomparable score, which yields a truly marvelous production."

“The fine supporting cast includes Heather Lee as Dolly, Frank Butler’s assistant, and Paul Ainsley as Chief Sitting Bull. Gary John La Rosa directs with knowing understanding of this classic material, and John MacInnis adds energetic choreography."

“The Music Circus already has had a very strong season; it has another success with this production and a star in Malone."

Music Circus scores with this sharpshooter! Yeehaw! Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show are back in town!

“It has been 11 years since Annie Oakley and Frank Butler held a shooting match at Music Circus, but Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun is this week’s production, directed by Gary John La Rosa, and it is loads of fun."”The opening ‘No Business Like Show Business’ displays the lively choreography of John MacInnis, which is such a big part of the success of this show. The high-kicking dances at the Hotel Brevoort are particularly enjoyable."

”This is a delightful little package that obviously was a crowd pleaser, since the Wells Fargo Pavilion had more filled seats than any other opening night this season. Nobody left disappointed."
