  • Program Notes by Joshua S. Ritter, Education Director
    Program Notes by Joshua S. Ritter, Education Director There’s No Business Like Show Business! Irving Berlin’s unforgettable tune captures the essence of life in the entertainment business like no other song in history. Only Berlin could so eloquently express the highs and lows that accompany a theatrical career. Remarkably, Berlin was concerned about including “There’s No Business Like Show Business” due to a muted initial response from his colleagues. Unbeknownst to Berlin, their silence was one of awe rather than disapproval. When Berlin submitted his score to producers Rogers and Hammerstein for the second round of rehearsals without the famous song, he drew the following reaction: “Where’s that ‘Show Business’ thing?” Hammerstein asked, sure that he had misplaced the number. “I left it out,” Berlin said somberly. “In Heaven’s name, why?” Hammerstein inquired. “I didn’t think you liked it,” Irving retorted. “You didn’t say enough.” Later, Hammerstein reflected on the situation: “He was just going to throw it away. Now out of context of the play, it’s merely the song that means show business.” However, despite Berlin’s incredible work on the production, he was not the original intended composer and lyricist for Annie Get Your Gun. Dorothy Fields conceived the idea for the musical and she intended to write the lyrics and co-write the book with her brother Herbert. She stated that the idea formed in her head after witnessing a decorated soldier who was extremely successful at a Coney Island shooting gallery. This observation conjured images of the famous sharpshooter Annie Oakley and the idea for the show was born.
