BROADWAY
On January 26, 2001, Reba made her Broadway debut starring as Annie Oakley in the revival of Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun. Reba’s performance was critically acclaimed by theater critics throughout New York, and earned her both a Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Award.
“Without qualification the best performance by an actress in a musical comedy this season. Ms. McEntire doesn’t need a gun to bring Manhattan to its knees.”
– New York Times
“She is waif-like cute. She is whimsical. She is eager. She is over-the-top funny. And her singing, substituting country character for Broadway belt, gives the old Berlin numbers a special piquancy.”
– New York Post
“Amazingly, this is McEntire’s Broadway debut — in fact, her first appearance in a play of any kind. After a long and fruitful career in Nashville, she suddenly makes Broadway her oyster.”
– New York Journal News
“McEntire’s energy and enthusiasm seem to shed a new glow on the whole production. And of course the particular qualities of McEntire’s lovely singing bring something fresh and exciting to Irving Berlin’s score.”
