Songs From “Annie Get Your Gun” Available Now
Commemorating the last time she stepped on Broadway 25 years ago today, Reba reveals two never-before-released songs, “You Can't Get A Man With A Gun” and “I Got Lost In His Arms,” from her critically acclaimed lead performance as Annie Oakley in the Irving Berlin classic, Annie Get Your Gun.
Marking the first and only time she’s appeared on Broadway in New York City, Reba replaced Bernadette Peters for a 5-month headline-making stint that became box office gold in 2001, as she was touted by Playbill as the “New Force of Nature” whose “name rocketed to the pantheon of great ladies of the American musical theatre.” Variety praised, “McEntire’s energy and enthusiasm seem to shed a new glow on the whole production,” before adding, “the particular qualities of McEntire’s lovely singing bring something fresh and exciting to Irving Berlin’s score.” Likewise, The New York Times hailed, “Without qualification the best performance by an actress in a musical comedy this season.”
