Hit musical Calamity Jane is coming to Bord Gáis Energy Theatre

Calling all musical lovers!

If you’re looking for a fun day out, then prepare to be wowed as Bord Gáis Energy Theatre has announced the whip-crackin’ production of Calamity Jane will be making its way to Dublin in August 2025. 

This Broadway and West End hit musical will run in Bord Gáis Energy Theatre from Tuesday August 19 until Saturday August 23, 2025, and will star multi-award-winning West End star Carrie Hope Fletcher.

Tickets are priced from €21.50 and will be available to buy on Friday, September 13, at 9.00am through Ticketmaster.

This foot-stomping new production is based on the much-loved Doris Day movie and will feature all the sure-fire classic songs including The Deadwood Stage (Whip-Crack-Away), The Black Hills of Dakota, Just Blew in from the Windy City, and the Oscar-winning Secret Love.

During the thrilling performance, you’ll see the fearless, gun slingin' Calamity Jane, known for being the biggest mouth in Dakota territory and always up for a fight. 

She'll charm you hog-eyed though, especially when trying to win the heart of the dashing Lieutenant Gilmartin, or shooting insults at the notorious Wild Bill Hickok. But when the men of Deadwood fall hard for Chicago stage star Adelaid Adams, Calamity struggles to keep her jealousy holstered. Her heart's a thumpin'… but who for?

It has been ten years since the show has been on the road and to mark the special occasion, the production has reunited the previous creative team with Direction by Curve Artistic Director, Nikolai Foster (An Officer and a Gentleman, Kinky Boots), Co-Direction and Choreography by Nick Winston (Shrek The Musical, Burlesque The Musical), Orchestration and Music Supervision by Catherine Jayes (The Color Purple, Merrily We Roll Along), and Set and Costume Design by Matthew Wright. 

This musical production will have Lighting Design by Tim Mitchell, Sound Design by Ben Harrison and Casting by Debbie O'Brien. 

Opening up about starring in this production, Carrie Hope Fletcher said, “Calamity Jane is one of those roles that doesn’t come around all too often. She’s action, romance and comedy all packed into one character, and I can’t wait to take on the challenge of filling her shoes!.”

Producer Jamie Wilson also commented to say, “With this new version of Calamity Jane first opening at The Watermill Theatre in 2014, I am delighted to be collaborating with them again to finally bring this wonderful production back to theatres all over the country after a 10-year absence.”

“We have been waiting for the right moment and artist to step into Calamity's boots and bring this hilarious and joyful musical back to the nation, and we are thrilled that Carrie Hope Fletcher will be leading the company as the iconic Calamity Jane. Carrie is one of the UK’s most talented artists who’s broad fan base will introduce this much beloved musical to audiences across the country."

Calamity Jane will be running at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin from August 19 until August 23 of next year.Ticket prices begin at €21.50 and are available to purchase now from the theatre’s website here.
