Damn Yankees
Musical
Faust meets professional baseball in the Broadway send up of love and the American pastime.
Middle-aged baseball fanatic Joe Boyd trades his soul to the Devil, also known as 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 that he's left behind. Joe ultimately outsmarts Applegate, returns to his former self and shepherds the Senators to the World Series.
Book by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop. Music and lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. Based on the novel by Doulass Wallop, The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant.
