The raucous revival that celebrates the wildest woman in the Wild West.
Welcome to the rough-and-tumble town of Deadwood, where swaggering sharpshooter Calamity Jane is mocked and admired in equal measure. Deadly with a whip or a quip, her bluster and bravado mask a longing for something deeper.
Cabaret daredevil Naomi Price (Drizzle Boy, Ladies in Black) slips into Jane’s trail-worn boots for this rootin’ tootin’ unruly and unpredictable ride.
Join Calamity’s piano-fuelled posse and pull up a stool at one of the on-stage saloon tables to be part of the action!
This revival has 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 reimagining shucks off the buckskin and brings a barrelful of dirt and grit to the classic musical.
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!
"Infectious, thigh-slapping good fun... simply unmissable."
— The Age
"Witty, immersive and polished to a rough diamond."
— The Sydney Morning Herald

Onstage Saloon Table Seating
From the moment you enter the theatre, audiences are immersed in the world of the Golden Garter Saloon — alive with drinkers, gamblers, and habitual jeopardy — and can expect an unruly and unpredictable ride. This particularly goes for the dozens of audience members seated onstage at saloon tables, who will be a part of this raucous revival whenever they least expect it!
Join Jane’s piano-fuelled posse and pull up a stool at one of the onstage saloon tables to be part of the action.
