Calamity Jane was the Inverness Opera Company's 90th anniversary production, marking a solid run of shows since 1925. It was also the last musical performed under the Inverness Opera Company name, before the company officially changed its name to the Inverness Musical Theatre Company.
Calamity Jane (A Musical Western) is a stage musical based on the historical figure of frontierswoman Calamity Jane. The non-historical, somewhat farcical plot involves the authentic Calamity Jane's professional associate Wild Bill Hickok, and presents the two as having a contentious relationship that ultimately proves to be a facade for mutually amorous feelings. The Calamity Jane stage musical was an adaption of a 1953 Warner Bros. movie musical of the same name that starred Doris Day. First produced in 1961, the stage musical Calamity Jane features six songs not heard in the movie.
