25 years ago today, country singer/songwriter Reba McEntire took her final bow as Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun on Broadway. Although it was the first and only time she appeared on Broadway, one fan on social media said she was “born for that role.”
Annie Get Your Gun opened at the Marquis Theatre in New York City on March 4, 1999. Taking over for Bernadette Peters, McEntire stepped into the role of Oakley for a limited time beginning on January 26, 2001. Although it’s been 25 years since the curtain closed on her performance, the singer surprised fans with two never-before-released songs today.
“You Can’t Get A Man With A Gun” and “I Got Lost In His Arms” were previously released on a promotional CD, but for the first time, the songs are now available on all streaming platforms.
McEntire posted the announcement on Instagram, and fans quickly took to the comment section to express their excitement for the new songs.

“Saw you in this three times, including the 2 performances on Wednesday March 28, 2001,” one fan recalled. “What a time to be alive and witnessing the most insane Broadway debut to ever hit Broadway. It’s still spoken about decades later.”
Jonathan Tilkin, a social media influencer and singer/songwriter, also commented, saying, “As a theatre kid, THIS is the Reba I knew first? so unbelievably good.”
When McEntire made her debut in the show, Variety noted that her energy and enthusiasm seemed to “shed a new glow on the whole production.”
“The particular qualities of McEntire’s lovely singing bring something fresh and exciting to Irving Berlin’s score,” Variety wrote.
