About

musical comedy; romance; western:

 

In the American Wild West, real life frontierswoman Calamity Jane was one of a kind.  It was said she could outrun and outshoot any man in town…except the infamous Wild Bill Hickok.

 

A hilarious comedy with many tender moments and some very famous numbers, including "Secret Love", "Black Hills Of Dakota, "Deadwood Stage" and "Windy City”.
