There’s No Business Like Show Business! By Joshua S. Ritter, Education Director

Irving Berlin’s opening number to Annie Get Your Gun has become the unofficial theatre anthem for show people around the world. It is an unforgettable tune that 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 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.” Ethel Merman as Annie Oakley Later, Hammerstein reflected on the situation: “He in the original 1946 was just going to throw it away. Now out of context Broadway production. of the play, it’s merely the song that means show business.” years to come. The man who gave them to us earned a lasting place in his nation’s history.” However, despite Berlin’s incredible work on the production, he was not the original intended composer Despite Kern’s unfortunate demise, producers Rodgers and lyricist for Annie Get Your Gun. Dorothy Fields and Hammerstein were successful in contracting Irving conceived the idea for the musical and she intended to Berlin to compose the music and lyrics for Annie Get write the lyrics and co-write the book with her brother Your Gun. “This is perhaps the only time in stage history Herbert. She stated that the idea formed in her head that one of America’s greatest song writers was acting after witnessing a decorated soldier who was extremely as producer of a musical comedy for which another successful at a Coney Island shooting gallery. This all-time great was writing the score. While Rodgers observation conjured images of the famous sharpshooter never entered into Berlin’s domain by making Annie Oakley and the idea for the show was born. suggestions on the kind of music needed (no more than Dorothy and Herbert felt that the role of Annie Oakley Berlin would tell Rodgers how to run the production), would best suit the inimitable Ethel Merman. What’s more, this unusual association resulted in one of the richest her star power was sure to attract a producer and an and most varied scores Berlin ever wrote for the stage expanded audience in the critical early stages of the run. and made possible the greatest box-office success of his career.” To compose the score, Dorothy and her collaborators contracted the prolific and renowned composer Jerome Berlin, however, was accustomed to writing both lyrics Kern. After some negotiations, he reluctantly agreed to and music and he had no experience writing for a leave Hollywood and return to New York City to work “situation show.” In response, Dorothy Fields was willing on the project. Tragically, Kern was in town for three to relinquish her role as lyricist. Berlin was nervous days before succumbing to a stroke at the age of sixty. about the arrangement, until he traveled to New York’s President Harry Truman, who was in office at the time Catskills Mountains and returned with the first five of Kern’s death, stated the following: “[Kern’s] melodies songs. In the Catskills he composed “Doin’ What Comes will live in our voices and warm our hearts for many Natur’lly,” “You Can’t Get a Man with a Gun,” “They Say It’s Wonderful,” and “The Girl That I Marry.” As a 20 GOODSPEED MUSICALS | 2010 SEASON program notes testament to his talent, Berlin completed the entire score before the first day of rehearsals.

Annie Get Your Gun ran for 1,147 performances after opening at the Imperial Theatre on May 16, 1946 and it went on to be a four-year hit in London. The show was revived on Broadway in 1966 with Ethel Merman reprising the role of Annie. A second revival was staged on Broadway in 1999, starring Bernadette Peters. In an effort to make the show more “politically correct,” Peter Stone revised the script and Goodspeed Musicals is using his version. Goodspeed Director Rob Ruggiero stated that, “Peter Stone did an incredible job of re-shaping that revival in a way that highlighted all the wonderful things about the show for more contemporary audiences.” Stone added a romantic relationship between Winnie, the sister of Frank’s assistant, and Tommy, a Native American boy. He also creates a Wild West show-within-a-show that highlights the relationship between Frank Butler and Annie. Ruggiero is excited to embrace the show-within-a-show concept while preserving the wonderful entertainment value of the production. He also hopes that you will enjoy his beautiful and authentic “Wild West Show” approach. We at Goodspeed are thrilled to present this enduring musical and triumph of the Broadway stage!

The Goodspeed Opera House has endured as a majestic House was restored and rededicated on June 18, 1963, presence on the Connecticut River since it was built in with the opening of the musical Oh Lady!

Goodspeed’s history goes back to its opening night on October 24, 1877, when a repertory group presented the comedy Charles II and the farces Box and Cox and Turn Him Out. Featured performers of the day were brought to East Haddam by steamboat, many directly from theatre in New York.

After William Goodspeed’s death, the theatre was eventually sold and used as a storage depot for the State Highway Department. The building was marked for demolition in 1958, but local preservationists became interested and in 1959 The Goodspeed Opera House Foundation was organized to restore and reactivate the theatre. With the cooperation of the State of Connecticut and the support of donor-members, the Goodspeed Opera
