Featured review
Calamity Jane is a wonderful way to lose yourself. We have three daughters who love this a lot.
Great, great fun all so professionally packaged that you just lose yourself in the moment.
Great tunes, a great looking cast, and sets, and above all an enormous sense that everyone was really enjoying themselves while making this, make Calamity Jane one of the best musicals for escapist entertainment.
Very easy to watch, and nothing that would shock a six year old it is impossible not to be carried away by Doris Day's and Howard Keel's performances.
While it won't change the world, it will make it a brighter place instantly.
Recommended to bring a genuine smile to anyone's face.
