The story is a fictionalized version of the life of Annie Oakley (1860–1926), who was a sharpshooter from Ohio, and her husband, Frank Butler.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1946 Broadway production was a hit, and the musical had long runs in both New York (1,147 performances) and London, spawning revivals, a 1950 film version and television versions. Songs that became hits 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.\" In 1999, a new production had its pre-Broadway engagement at the Kennedy Center, Washington, D.C., from December 29, 1998 to January 24, 1999. Previews began on Broadway on February 2, 1999 at the Marquis Theatre, with an official opening on March 4, 1999, and closed on September 1, 2001 after 35 previews and 1,046 performances.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis revival starred Bernadette Peters as Annie and Tom Wopat as Frank, with direction by Graciela Daniele, choreographey by Jeff Calhoun, and arrangements by John McDaniel. Peters won the 1999 Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical and the production won the Tony for Best Revival of a Musical.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis production had a revised book by Peter Stone and new orchestrations, and was structured as a \"show-within-a-show\", set as a Big Top travelling circus. \"Frank Butler\" is alone on stage and introduces the main characters, singing \"There's No Business Like Show Business\", which is reprised when \"Annie\" agrees to join the traveling Wild West show. The production dropped several songs (including \"Colonel Buffalo Bill\", \"I'm A Bad, Bad Man\", and \"I'm an Indian Too\"), but included \"An Old-Fashioned Wedding\". There were several major dance numbers added, including a ballroom scene. A sub-plot, which had been dropped from the 1966 revival, involving the romance between Winnie, the young sister of Frank Butler's assistant and Tommy, her part-Native-American boyfriend was also included, and Winnie is Dolly's sister rather than her daughter. In this version, the final shooting match between Annie and Frank ends in a tie.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Annie+Get+Your+Gun+1999+Broadway+Revival+Cast+","playStationPath":"/stations/271970904/play","stationId":271970904,"bioPath":"/music/Annie+Get+Your+Gun+1999+Broadway+Revival+Cast+/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Mack+David+Al+Hoffman+Jerry+Livingston+Children+s+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/93f/93fde99b35559a6fd52cafbc4ae589c9_md.jpg","artistName":"Mack David, Al Hoffman, \u0026 Jerry Livingston (Children's)","artistId":110065,"station_id":283944921},{"musicPath":"/music/Carnival+Original+Cast+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e3c/e3c370a9260a3a231c49c0f2e009901d_md.jpg","artistName":"Carnival (Original Cast)","artistId":110458,"station_id":283944963},{"musicPath":"/music/Guys+Dolls+The+New+Broadway+Cast+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b8a/b8a11c5e86ffcd65970d8d729503687f_md.jpg","artistName":"Guys \u0026 Dolls (The New Broadway Cast)","artistId":108221,"station_id":281787853},{"musicPath":"/music/Mamma+Mia+Original+Motion+Picture+Cast+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/3bb/3bb56383da26e92aa0629bc1162155fd_md.jpg","artistName":"Mamma Mia (Original Motion Picture Cast)","artistId":116798,"station_id":283945900},{"musicPath":"/music/Bebe+Neuwirth+Company","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/548/548f8300e7fd358a3faa3ef336ed67fa_md.jpg","artistName":"Bebe Neuwirth \u0026 Company","artistId":89580,"station_id":271970906},{"musicPath":"/music/Mandy+Moore+Zachary+Levi+Children+s+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/80d/80d08b5aa5488b7998dd13b4edc940a4_md.jpg","artistName":"Mandy Moore \u0026 Zachary Levi (Children's)","artistId":129222,"station_id":284994146},{"musicPath":"/music/Grease+Original+Cast+Recording+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/332/33288e7e4a3ea178d23fb742b9a59897_md.jpg","artistName":"Grease (Original Cast Recording)","artistId":89587,"station_id":271970916},{"musicPath":"/music/Next+To+Normal+Original+Cast+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5d1/5d191ec4c869e03257880ed733277514_md.jpg","artistName":"Next To Normal (Original Cast)","artistId":109710,"station_id":283944861},{"musicPath":"/music/Sweet+Charity+Original+Broadway+Cast+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b26/b268426a4595af7d65151ecde9ff62b4_md.jpg","artistName":"Sweet Charity (Original Broadway Cast)","artistId":89599,"station_id":271970931},{"musicPath":"/music/South+Pacific+Carnegie+Hall+Concert+Cast+","artistDefaultImage":"//olds1.cdn107.com/images/defartist_md.png","artistName":"South Pacific (Carnegie Hall Concert Cast)","artistId":118582,"station_id":283946481},{"musicPath":"/music/Kiss+Me+Kate+Original+Broadway+Cast+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c1c/c1ced95d6f572e8e23299cc91471344d_md.jpg","artistName":"Kiss Me, Kate (Original Broadway Cast)","artistId":117895,"station_id":283168739},{"musicPath":"/music/Young+Frankenstein+Original+Broadway+Cast+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/455/4559048776dae7908e4a4554fbf197ab_md.jpg","artistName":"Young Frankenstein (Original Broadway Cast)","artistId":109878,"station_id":282141015},{"musicPath":"/music/Avenue+Q+Original+Broadway+Cast","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/19d/19d148e9bd837e3e62a6c1271e1d6592_md.jpg","artistName":"Avenue Q: Original Broadway Cast","artistId":94428,"station_id":287827953},{"musicPath":"/music/Walt+Disney+s+Sleeping+Beauty+Children+s+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/fa0/fa013c651387c52771c7301afa8e07b2_md.jpg","artistName":"Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty (Children's)","artistId":107909,"station_id":281656780},{"musicPath":"/music/Spamalot+Original+Broadway+Cast+Recording+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/50a/50aaa4b1b77c817f22317eccd60a3746_md.jpg","artistName":"Spamalot (Original Broadway Cast Recording)","artistId":108934,"station_id":283944729},{"musicPath":"/music/Hello+Dolly+Original+Broadway+Cast+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ce0/ce0609ddaf53a2d17b319a690f33704e_md.jpg","artistName":"Hello, Dolly!
