DAMN YANKEES
When online ticket sales are completed, there will be a limited number of tickets available at the box office one hour before show time. Those attending the opening night performance (3/27/15), are invited to a champagne reception following the show.
"Damn Yankees" tells the story of Joe Boyd, a middle-aged married man who loves his perpetually losing Washington Senators as much as he hates the perpetually winning New York Yankees. When the Devil appears in the form of the smooth Mr. Applegate, Joe jumps at the chance to trade his soul to become the greatest baseball player of all time and carry his Senators to the pennant. As the Senators go on an historic winning streak and near first place, Joe finally realizes how much he gave up when he walked away from his wife's love and their workaday life. Will he go back, or will he succumb to the temptations of fame, glory, and the charms of Applegate's assistant, the luscious Lola?
"Damn Yankees" won nine Tony Awards in 1956, including Best Musical, Music and Lyrics (Richard Adler and Jerry Ross), Book (George Abbott and Douglas Wallop, who also wrote the book on which the play is based, "The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant"), Choreography (Bob Fosse), and three acting awards (Gwen Verdon, Ray Walston, and Russ Brown). The memorable and eminently hummable score includes "Whatever Lola Wants," "You've Gotta Have Heart,", "Goodbye Old Girl," "Shoeless Joe," and "Two Lost Souls."
MCT's big-league production is directed by Peter Gelblum, with musical direction by Steve Abrams, and choreography by Shannon Marie Kerr. The all-star cast includes David Jackson, Shannon Marie Kerr, Steve Edmonds, Scott Whisler, Mindy Pedlar, Alie Mac, and Mike Stark.
Light, fast-paced and devilishly clever, Damn Yankees is a home-run hit featuring all-American subject matter and an irreverent sense of humor.
Book by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop
Music and Lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross
Based on the novel "The Year The Yankees Lost The Pennant" by Douglass Wallop
