Annie Get Your Gun – Examiner Review

With minimalist stage and sparse props – the entire set is really nothing more than a short set of stairs painted white with the American flag as a backdrop curtain – the actors under the direction of choreographer Fleur Mellor, manage to re-create the scenes surrounding the famous Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show and the romantic tension between ace sharpshooters, Annie and Frank. Full credit goes to Matthew Reeve, music director and orchestrator for his fast-moving, free-flowing scores especially the uplifting song, “There’s No Business like Show Business,” performed with a flourish several times.
