Calamity Jane starring Doris Day was one of my favourite movies growing up so I was thrilled to see that Queensland Theatre were performing the play. I bought tickets for the matinee straight away.
Starring the talented Naomi Price as Calamity, this musical boasted a fabulous ensemble cast who played a variety of roles. All our favourites tunes, including The Deadwood Stage and Secret Love, gave this writer goosebumps as I listened to these beautiful renditions.
This musical is funny, nostalgic and a rollicking ride which will have you laughing, crying, singing and clapping along. Those who dared to buy saloon style stage seats found themselves immersed in the show and part of the action.
It was obvious the whole cast were having a ball as were the whole audience. The show is only on at the Bille Brown Theatre until April 17, so be quick. It’s a whip-cracking good time and was a definite 10/10 for me.
