It's a show that you wish was just about the songs -- "There's No Business Like Show Business," "I've Got the Sun in the Morning," etc. -- but, for better or worse, it's set in a time (late 19th century) and place (the Wild West, still somewhat populated by Native Americans), that requires contextualization. The 1999 revival tried and also brought in blockbuster star, Bernadette Peters, to add star power. Ironically, Reba McEntire ended up being the breakout personality when she took over the role.
I talk through all of this with the delightful Robyn O'Neill who starred in a 2005 production of the show that was modeled in part after the 1999 revival. Learn about Robyn's past as a stalker, how her production picked and chose which aspects of the show to use, and about a special someone she started dating during the production's run.
