Annie Get Your Gun – 1986 London Cast is an album from the first London revival of Irving Berlin's musical Annie Get Your Gun, starring American rock musician Suzi Quatro as Annie Oakley and Eric Flynn as Frank Butler. The revival was a David Gilmore Chichester Festival Theatre production. It toured in the UK and then moved to the Aldwych Theatre in London's West End.

The album was initially released on the First Night/Pinnacle record label as Annie Get Your Gun (1986 London revival cast) and is sometimes (ambiguously) called Annie Get Your Gun (Original London Cast Recording) or Annie Get Your Gun: Original London Cast Recording. It is Quatro's ninth studio album.

Background

The musical Annie Get Your Gun is based on a book of the same name, written by Herbert and Dorothy Fields. The story covers Oakley's romance with Butler while they were exhibition shooters in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. In real life, Butler became Oakley's manager when she became the star attraction in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. Oakley then became the first American female superstar.

On 12 April 1982 Quatro appeared in a BBC television program called An Evening with Andrew Lloyd Webber. During his show, Webber suggested that Quatro should star in Annie Get Your Gun.[1]

Names

According to its publisher, this album is called Annie Get Your Gun – 1986 London Cast.[2]

It was originally released as Annie Get Your Gun (1986 London revival cast).[3][4]

The album is sometimes ambiguously referred to as Annie Get Your Gun (Original London Cast Recording) or Annie Get Your Gun: Original London Cast Recording. The term "original cast recording" is ambiguous because it can mean either the cast of the first ever performance of a musical in a particular city, or the cast of the première of a particular production (which may be a revival). The album's cover contains the words "Original London Cast Recording" and its catalogue number contains the characters "OCR" (which stand for Original Cast Recording). This 1986 production is actually the first West End (London) revival of the musical — the first ever London performance of Annie Get Your Gun (starring Dolores Gray) was in 1947.[5]

Recording, production

There were different teams of producers for the theatre and the album.

John Gale was the executive producer for the theatre, with Al Waxman and Anita Waxman as associate producers.[6]: 2 

Robert Mackintosh was executive producer for the album, with Norman Newell as record producer. The album was recorded at Olympic Studios, Barnes, on 14–15 July 1986.[6]: 23 

Touring

15 April 1986 – 14 June 1986: Annie Get Your Gun opened at the Chichester Festival Theatre.[1][7]

21 June 1986 – 12 July 1986: the production then moved to the Theatre Royal, Plymouth.[1]

29 July 1986 – 4 October 1986: finally, the musical moved to the Aldwych Theatre in the London's West End.[8]
