Helen Rose crafted this captivating pink and white gown with sheer sleeves for the 1949 film Take Me Out to the Ballgame, where it was worn by Betty Garrett, who breathed life into the character Shirley Delwyn.

The gown reemerged from the garment racks in the following year for the 1950 musical Annie Get Your Gun, where an extra wore it in a crowd scene filled with reused costumes from Take Me Out to the Ballgame and The Harvey Girls. Can you spot them?

Musical Theatre Song Contest: Round Three D

Submitter’s propaganda under the cut

Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)

Perfect comedy song for the trash talkers of the world who let their competitiveness get ahead of them. Enemies to lovers.

Letters

one of my friends said it has a “pirate ass beat” when I made him listen to it. anyway it slaps :3

look everyone makes fun of the "natalie natalie natalie" part but its funny and in character, and theres so much other stuff in the song too. theres the whole bit with pierre doing unhinged math to prove napoleon is satan and declaring he's going to kill him. i also just really like the line "i see nothing but the candle in the mirror, no visions of the future, so lost and alone"

have you HEARD the harmonies. they make me feel things. also iT IS NAPOLEON

Annie Get Your Gun is a character assassination spurred by post war gender politics.

I love Annie Oakley and the musical adaptation of her life pisses me off.

If you don’t know the plot:

basically, Annie is an uncultured sharpshooter who gets into a competition with Frank E. Butler (another sharpshooter and her future husband). She beats him, falls for him, and is told by the people around her to change herself for him. He is also attracted to her but emasculated by her. To get together she has to challenge him again and pull an Atalanta and lose to allow him to save face.

This is probably slightly off because I haven’t actually seen it, but from the synopses I’ve found that’s the vibe.

This is so far from the truth.

Oakley may not always have been the proper lady she was known to be, but that was an important part of her stage persona.

Her husband fell head over heels for her BECAUSE she beat him. He eventually gave up his career as a performer because he knew she was better and a bigger draw and shifted to being her manager and a salesman. This man was a simp (affectionate).

Also Sitting Bull, the person who convinces her to lose on purpose in the play, would not have done that. That man loved and respected the hell out of Annie and her skills and symbolically “adopted” her. He would not have told her to make less of them to get a man.

So character assassinations all around.

Why did I claim post war gender politics though? The play came out 1946.

What happened the year before? The end of world war 2.

What happens during that war (and most wars that pull nearly all the men for soldiers)? Women took over jobs back home.

Post world war 2 is notorious for its gender politics and shoving women back into the home. There was a huge issue/worry of emasculation.

So what do Dorothy & Herbert Fields and Irving Berlin do? Write a musical about a badass woman making herself smaller to save face for the man she loves so they can get together.

And like so many stories before and since, they imposed this story onto preexisting people/characters with personality and stories that do not align with the story they wanted to tell.

And because it is one of the main ways that people learn about them, it ruins people’s perspective on them. Which as a huge fan of Annie Oakley (and her husband tbh), fills me with furry.

She deserves so much better.

And so does Frank dammit!

Two brief anecdotes from Letters from an Actor:

Some years ago, Alfred Lunt—a smashingly fine actor—was appearing in one of many plays with his wife, the formidable Lynn Fontanne. As always, the couple continued to work on this and that detail of their performances long after the success of the production had been assured. Mr. Lunt was especially concerned with a moment when he asked for a cup of tea. Under the circumstances of the scene, “May I have a cup of tea?” was an absurd request, and Lunt believed the line should get a laugh. Night after night he failed. He experimented with different readings, bizarre inflections. He tried shouting the words. He tried whispering. He made his hands shake. He stood stiffly. He stood limply. He spoke quickly, then slowly. Nothing worked. He was desperate. He was frustrated. At last, he was enraged. His wife endured several weeks of his agony. One magic night, she took him by the hand to soothe his shattered nerves. ��Alfred,” she suggested, “tomorrow night, instead of asking for a laugh, why don’t you just ask for a cup of tea?” Mr. Lunt did so. And yes, he got a laugh. Simplicity is a wonderful thing.

...

On the opening night of Annie Get Your Gun in New York, Ethel Merman stood casually in the wings of the Imperial Theatre listening to the overture and waiting for the curtain to rise. Some say that she was chewing a stick of Juicy Fruit gum, and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised, since the lady’s relaxation is as notorious as her performing. Nearby, a chorus girl—less than twenty years old—was busily grinding her dance slippers into a resin box and alternately bouncing up and down in second position. She was candidly terrified and apparently trying to bump and grind her fears away. Eventually she forgot her horrors long enough to notice Miss Merman: dead-pan, fist-in-hip, jaws-slowly-working-gum, and looking altogether like a well-fed policeman off-duty. “Oh, Miss Merman!” the girl cried. “You look so, so—unperturbed! Aren’t you nervous?” Miss Merman removed a wad of exhausted gum from her mouth and dropped it precisely into a trash can. “Why should I be nervous?” she said. “I know my lines.”

I am so excited to release this cover of "Anything You Can Do" from Annie Get Your Gun, Alvittany style! This is honestly such an Alvin/Brittany song, and my good friend @ambientskai from my server worked the magic on the composition and Alvin vocals (I was Brittany, ofc). We will probably do more in the future, so this is just a fun test run that we played with haphazardly lol. Please enjoyyyy sdkhjfoidfhgdfg

Expert sharpshooter Annie Oakley comes out of retirement to practice for the Fred Stone Circus and Motor Hippodrome at the Mineola Fair Grounds just outside the city limits, July 27, 1922. Oakley performed in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show from 1885 to 1902.

[Image ID: A traditional pencil drawing of Suki and Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender in an Old West setting. They are shown from the waist up in profile facing each other. Suki places her hand on her hip, smiles, and says to Sokka "Anything you can do, I can do better." Sokka folds his arms and laughs sarcastically, "Ha!" There are tents in the background. /.End ID]

I can do anything better than you!

It's Sukka Week!

My entry for Day 1 is based on the song "Anything You Can Do" from the musical Annie Get Your Gun, based on the life of Annie Oakley and her romance with fellow sharpshooter and Wild West show performer Frank Butler. It rather reminds me of Sukka's beginnings : )

Musical Theatre Song Contest: Round One D

Submitter’s propaganda under the cut

When the Going Gets Tough

its one of the fastest raps on broadway

i know it's SpongeBob but it's a BOP, and also the harmonies are good and like. the instrumentals are good and when it gets to the chorus you KNOW stuff is happening and going on and oh my god they have to leave there's a volcano they're all gonna die. Top tier villain song in my opinion.

Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)

Perfect comedy song for the trash talkers of the world who let their competitiveness get ahead of them. Enemies to lovers.
