It was 20 years ago this week that Reba McEntire made her Broadway debut.

Reba took over the role of “Annie Oakley” in the production of Annie Get Your Gun.

Looking back on it, Reba shares “I was so excited I could hardly stand it!”

While it was Reba’s first turn on the Broadway stage, she was no novice to acting. She appeared in her first movie, Tremors, in 1990. It also wasn’t her first time playing “Annie Oakley” – in 1995, she played “Annie” in the TV mini-series Buffalo Girls, that co-starred Anjelica Huston as “Calamity Jane” and Sam Elliot as “Wild Bill Hickok.”
