Notes:

Annie Oakley, 1860-1926

the original composer, Jerome Kern, died before completing the score

the 1946 musical ran for more than 1,100 performances on Broadway and more than 1,300 in London

Mary Martin toured as Annie in 1947-48

1950 movie: Betty Hutton replaced Judy Garland

the only Rodgers and Hammerstein production without an R&H score (they acted as producers)

the 1999 Broadway revision (Tonys for best revival and for Bernadette Peters)  ran for more than 1,000 performances before it closed — 10 days before 9/11
