The historic Cody Theatre in downtown Cody has, for the past 10 summers, housed Buffalo Bill’s “Wild West Spectacular the Musical.”
The award-winning show is back this year, having opened for the season Wednesday day night, the first of 46 shows for the summer season, which runs through Aug. 8. Shows are on select days at 7 p.m., except for June 30-July 4 when performances are at 2 p.m.
There is no better inspiration for live entertainment than Cody town founder and namesake, “Buffalo” Bill Cody. He himself was a dreamer and became known as the World’s Greatest Showman with his traveling Wild West Show in the 1870’s-early 1900’s. The showmanship continues as every spring; actors, singers, and dancers from across the country audition so they can bring to life Buffalo Bill’s amazing story in this original, full-length historical and humorous musical.
The “Wild West” wouldn’t be “wild” without a few colorful characters who had a part in Buffalo Bill’s story. Audience members will see saloon girls, sharpshooters, and the likes of Annie Oakley, Jess Willard, Frank Butler, and “Wild” Bill Hickok come to life on stage.
Tickets can be purchased at codywildwestshow.com, Clem’s Canteen & Creamery in The Cody Theatre lobby, Cody and Powell chambers, or at the door if any remain.
