 Annie Get Your Gun (Theatre)
comment
A 1946 American musical developed by Irving Berlin and siblings Herbert and Dorothy Fields, under the supervision of producers Rodgers and Hammerstein. Ethel Merman originated the title role, and sang many a classic standard, including "There's No Business Like Show Business." A film version, with Betty Hutton in the lead, was released in 1950. The musical has been revived several times since on Broadway, most recently starring Bernadette Peters, Reba McEntire, and Susan Lucci (All My Children).It follows the tale of one Annie Oakley – sharpshooter, and the man whom she'll one day marry: Frank Butler – sharpshooter. They meet while Frank is starring in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, but it's rivalry, not love, at first sight. It's going to be hard, but eventually, they do finally get together in the end.

In the 1999 revival script, Dolly Tate serves as her teenage sister Winnie's guardian. (In the original 1946 version, Winnie was her daughter, but the revised script changes their relationship.)

 Annie Get Your Gun (Theatre) / int_2740531a
comment
She Cleans Up Nicely: Annie puts on a formal gown for the reception before the merger and Frank takes it as a sign that she's becoming a lady. Even before that, Annie trades her dirty hillbilly clothes for clean, respectable outfits and starts bathing regularly after she joins Buffalo Bill's show, and Frank comments on how much better she looks and smells.

Butt-Monkey: Dolly Tate. She is constantly mocked by everyone, especially Charlie, but Annie and Frank get in on it too. Justified in that she is a mean-spirited, bigoted snob who hates everyone regardless.

 Annie Get Your Gun (Theatre) / int_661d7909
comment
Maligned Mixed Marriage: The Beta Couple Tommy Keeler and Winnie Tate go through this. Winnie's mother (or older sister) Dolly opposes their relationship because Tommy is half Native American and has their secret marriage annulled. But they reunite and remarry once Winnie turns eighteen and can legally marry without Dolly's consent.

Argument of Contradictions
 Annie Get Your Gun (Theatre) / int_6fd1837b
comment
Argument of Contradictions: "Anything You Can Do" is basically this trope in musical form. Every time Annie says she can do something better than Frank, or vice-versa, the next lines are "No you can't!" "Yes I can! "No you can't!" "Yes I can!"

Men Act, Women Are: Inverted for most of the musical, where Anne is doing all the acting and Frank is not. The reason she gets the guy is because she holds back on her competition (courtesy of a rigged gun).

Very Loosely Based on a True Story
 Annie Get Your Gun (Theatre) / int_e4b69188
comment
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Annie and Frank were real life show shooters and they got married but much of this story is fabricated. Most noticeably, Anne giving up her career at the end by throwing the competition with Frank is exactly the opposite of how real life went, where Frank gave up his career to promote Annie's. The 1999 revival adjusts this by having Frank throw the competition as well so they tie.
