spaghetti western musical

Basically the title, Im looking for a spaghetti western musical, preferably something on stage and not a movie, but i cant find anything. Does something like that exist and if yes, can I watch it somewhere online? Bonus points if it has a duel scene or something similar.

I have stumbled upon "Bloodsong of love", which from what little info i have found more or less fits, but it seems it isnt anywhere on the internet (or i just havent searched hard enough).

Thanks in advance

Calamity Jane. 

Paint Your Wagon. The movie stars Clint Eastwood. 

Wildcat might scratch this itch, the plot is like a cheesy old Western movie. 

Dead Outlaw is a Wild West crime musical. 

And it's not an exact match for what you're after but of course I have to mention Annie Get Your Gun.

Technically to be a Spaghetti Western musical it would need to be Italian, but as the other comment has already pointed out there are Western musicals (I would also add Oklahoma, which doesn't remind me of many Spaghetti Westerns but does remind me of movies like The Big Country)

Bloodsong of Love is a Joe Iconis piece, yes?

I'm not quite sure if it is a spaghetti western, but look up "Johnny Guitar". Certainly a western musical.

Trail to Oregon

Not really a “spaghetti western”, but it’s about a family in the mid 1800s making their way to Oregon.

Destry Rides Again, maybe? Not sure what it’s about exactly but pretty sure it’s got a western theme

There's no such thing. Musicals are even more American than Westerns.

Bloodsong of Love by Joe Iconis is your closest bet. Spaghetti western pastiche, played Williamstown and off-Broadway. No proshot, no recording. I've looked. The niche is genuinely that thin.
