SYNOPSIS : Annie Get Your Gun is a musical with lyrics and music by Irving Berlin and a book by Dorothy Fields and her brother Herbert Fields. The story is a fictionalized version of the life of Annie Oakley (1860–1926)
New York State power broker Robert Moses built an 8,200-seat Amphitheatre at Jones Beach in 1952. (Jones Beach was a Moses-sculpted state park on the South Shore of Long Island, midway between Manhattan and what would in later decades become that popular playground known as "the Hamptons.")  A man-made lagoon that separated the stage from the seats, Guy Lombardo — a popular bandleader based in the neighboring village of Freeport — was brought in to run the joint, producing shows and providing music for dancing after the show. He would also ride in on a speedboat before the show, to conduct the national anthem. After a decade of original shows, Jones Beach stopped producing them and contented themselves with revivals of standard Broadway hits.
