* In the later stage musical, the song goes by the title "Windy City".

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

In the real world, Calamity Jane was both a 1953 film and a theatrical production from the 1960s. Provided that the DWU and the real world are the same in this instance — a fairly dubious assumption — Emma-Louise is most likely talking about the film. She travelled forward in time from 1953, long before the stage play had been written and performed for the first time.
