Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Reba McEntire made her Broadway debut in 2001 as Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun at the Marquis Theatre. Her performance garnered rave reviews from critics and audiences and revived the box office of the show. Reba was suddenly elevated to single-name status like Broadway icons Chita, Liza and Patti. Her Broadway run set the stage for her popular, self-titled television sitcom later that year. Four years later she returned to the stage as Nellie Forbush in City Center's production of South Pacific.

Also an acclaimed actor, producer and author, McEntire is one of the most successful female recording artists in history. She is widely recognized as the biggest female hitmaker in country music history.

This sketch by legendary artist Al Hirschfeld features McEntire in her role of Annie Oakley. This privately commissioned sketch was first unveiled March 1, 2001.

This giclée, part of an extremely limited edition, is printed on 15" x 18" hot press paper and has been generously autographed by McEntire. The edition is numbered, includes the official Hirschfeld Foundation embossed seal and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity directly from the Al Hirschfeld Foundation.
Proceeds to Benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and The Al Hirschfeld Foundation.
