Young Josie Marcus is nothing like the girls back home. Passionate and fearless, she leaves behind her upper class Jewish family for the adventure of Tombstone, Arizona-home of legendary lawman Wyatt Earp. Eleven gutsy women give voice to the untold story of the American frontier in this compelling new musical.

There’s a lot of pretty good in the first act of “I Married Wyatt Earp,” a musical at 59E59 Theaters. The story? Pretty good. Songs? Pretty good. Acting, singing, jokes? Same, same, same. Yet as it wanders into an aimless second act, that pretty goodness wanes, and you long for the show to race toward a bigger finish or to stop and explore a smaller moment.

For me, nothing is more disappointing than seeing a new show that has a fantastic premise and then fails to live up to it.
