It’s quite serendipitous that this production of Calamity Jane had its first preview on International Women’s Day. Based on the real life adventures of American frontierswoman, storyteller and larger than life character Martha Jane Canary, aka Calamity, the show shows no sign of its age, despite it’s first production being over 55 years ago. With successful TV shows like Deadwood (which includes many of the Calamity Jane characters, including the leading lady) and Westwood plus countless western movies, the frontier is never far off the pop culture radar.
