Calamity Jane

The raucous revival that celebrates the wildest woman in the Wild West. The Empire presents A Queensland Theatre Company production Deadly with a whip or a quip, her bluster and bravado mask a longing for something deeper. Cabaret daredevil Naomi Price slips into Jane’s trail-worn boots for this rootin’, tootin’, unruly and unpredictable ride— a bold reimagining of the classic musical that brings a barrelful of dirt, grit and heart to the stage. Join Calamity’s piano-fuelled posse and pull up a stool at one of the on-stage saloon stools to be part of the action. This intimate, immersive experience ropes audiences right into the story, making every performance a must-see event. This revival features all your favourite numbers—including 'Secret Love' and 'The Black Hills of Dakota'—but this ain’t Doris Day’s Calamity Jane, no siree. This stripped-back staging shucks off the buckskin and digs deeper into the grit, humour and heart of the frontier legend. Hailed as “outstandingly clever... gut-bustlingly funny [and with] an extraordinarily generous heart” (The Australian), saddle up and ride before dawn, ’cause these here tickets will fly out the door faster than you can crack a whip!
