Calamity Jane @ Leeds Grand Theatre

Gosh, almighty! Grab a posse because the whip-crackin’ musical comedy classic Calamity Jane is rollin’ on over the plains to The Grand. Based on the much-loved Doris Day movie, this plumb fancy new production stars the multi-award winning West End actor and singer Carrie Hope Fletcher (Cinderella, Les Misérables) and begins its UK and Ireland tour in January 2025.

Meet the fearless, gun-slinging Calamity Jane – the biggest mouth in Dakota territory and always up for a fight. She’ll charm you hog-eyed though, especially when trying to win the heart of the dashing Lieutenant Gilmartin, or shooting insults at the notorious Wild Bill Hickok. But when the men of Deadwood fall hard for Chicago stage star Adelaid Adams, Calamity struggles to keep her jealousy holstered. Her heart’s a thumpin’… but who for?

With the sure-fire classic songs The Deadwood Stage (Whip-Crack-Away), The Black Hills of Dakota, Just Blew in from the Windy City, and the Oscar-winning Secret Love, the Watermill Theatre’s production of Calamity Jane is directed by Nikolai Foster, co-directed and choreographed by Nick Winston and features musical supervision by Olivier, Grammy and Tony Award winner Catherine Jayes.
