Biography
William F. Cody was one of the greatest showmen of the nineteenth century. He pioneered the Wild West Show as a form of popular entertainment on an international scale, laid the foundations for the birth of rodeo, and successfully marketed the myth of the American frontier.
Cody's early life embodies and symbolises the history of the American West. At the age of fifteen he worked as a rider for the Pony Express and in 1864 enlisted in the Seventh Kansas Volunteer Cavalry. He was then employed as a scout for General William Sherman before working under contract for the Kansas Pacific Railroad as a buffalo hunter in 1867-68. According to his autobiography in the two years that he worked for the company he killed 4,280 buffaloes and acquired the name Buffalo Bill. In 1868 he returned to the U.S. Army as chief of the Scouts for the Fifth Cavalry.

There’s a new musical in town inspired by the musical of late, great rapper Tupac Shakur. And some huvudgata fans think rap and then think In the Heights, but we’re here to argue that Holler If Ya Hear Me is much more similar to the ground-breaking and iconic musical West Side Story than In the Heights.
