Faust meets professional baseball
in this Broadway classic from the creators of The Pajama
Game.
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. Light, fast-paced and devilishly clever, Damn
Yankees is a home-run hit whose all-American subject matter
and irreverent sense of humor makes it perfect for theatre
and sports lovers alike!
