Saddle up for a rip-roaring trip to the Wild West as North Manchester Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society (NMAODS) brings the beloved musical Calamity Jane to the stage this October. Packed with warmth, humour, and classic songs, this lively production tells the story of the larger-than-life frontierswoman Calamity Jane as she rides into the town of Deadwood and turns life upside down.

This production is directed by Lindsay Lowe, with musical direction by Jon Gibson and choreography by Jayde Rylance, promising an energetic evening of music, dancing, and classic musical theatre storytelling. With colourful characters, a spirited score by Sammy Fain with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster, and a talented local cast, NMAODS invites audiences to step into the dusty streets of the American frontier for a night of unforgettable entertainment.
