The Gunfighter Meet His Match Musical
A Wild West boom town, famous for the legend of a brilliant Gunfighter, is stirred up by the arrival of a young ranch hand on a mission to understand the truth behind the Gunfighter stories. As mysterious past and present meld and the Gunfighter returns to protect his long lost love, he and the townsfolk must face their ghosts in this new musical filled with humor and heart.
With books, music and lyrics by singer/songwriter Abby Payne, "The Gunfighter Meets His Match" was included in the 2018 New York Musical Festival. Payne has continued to develop the show at the Johnny Mercer Writer's Colony, the National Winter Playwriting Retreat in Grand Lake, CO, and the Goodspeed Festival of New Musicals.
