Avg. Event Rating (5.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Middle-aged baseball fanatic Joe Boyd trades his soul to the Devil (the charming but devious Mr. Applegate) for a chance to lead his favorite team to victory in the pennant race against the New York Yankees. As young baseball sensation Joe Hardy, he transforms the hapless Washington Senators into a winning team, only to realize the true worth of the life (and wife) he's left behind. With the help of a handy escape clause and a guilt-ridden temptress named Lola, Joe outsmarts Applegate, returns to his former self and shepherds the Senators to the World Series.

Light, fast-paced and devilishly clever, “Damn Yankees” is a home-run hit whose all-American subject matter and sense of humor have brought many a sports fan into the theatre. In addition to its many strong male and female roles, the show features a scene-stealing role in Lola (originally played by a relatively unknown Gwen Verdon), plenty of opportunities for dance (which may be replaced by simple movement), and a catchy score filled with rousing production numbers and popular favorites like "Heart", ”Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, MO!” and "Whatever Lola Wants."With Music and Lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross and Book by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop, Faust meets professional baseball in this Broadway classic from the creators of “The Pajama Game."
