The Greatest Show Town in the World!

"Five minutes to curtain!" was a phrase I heard more times than I can count growing up as a theater kid. Through my years of performing, singing, and dancing I have discovered there is something genuinely wonderful and unique about a live show that makes an evening special. My love of theater has traveled right along with me on my all American road trips. It is such a pleasure to share this list of shows to see here in my hometown!

Buffalo Bill, himself was an entertainer and showman. He loved performing and built his legacy on his own wild west show which toured all over the world and helped to romanticize and ultimately preserve the west and our spirit of adventure. I believe that his love of the theater still lives in Cody Wyoming today, so swing on by and stay for an hour or two. Revel in the wild west and the exciting entertainment that awaits you in the town founded by the greatest showman in the world!
