Presse : "Full marks to Louise Gold in the title role and Ricco Ross as Wild Bill Hickock. Their playing of the central characters is more than enough to dispel any memories of Doris Day and Howard Keel." "From the aspect of songs it's a woman's musical, not only is there Gold as the larger than life Calamity but also Liz Izen as Katie Brown, giving audiences full value for their money." Quentin Clark, THE STAGE
"Louise just blazed through it, demolishing everyone else in it! The audience adored her." Peter Gannaway, WORDS AND MUSIC
“As the tough tender-hearted tomboy, Louise Gold is strong and charismatic enough to avoid comparison with Doris Day.” Liz Gilbey, THE LEICESTER MERCURY, Wednesday 23 November 1994, p41

Commentaires : This was the “original” Broadway version as preferred by Sondheim, though several critics expressed their preference for the 1987 London version. It was given as a “proper” staging, though the restrictions of a 3,000 seat concert hall seemed to work against it. However, the performances of Kathryn Evans and Joan Savage were especially praised.
