Faust meets professional baseball in this Broadway classic.

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 much-hated
New York Yankees (and who hates the Yankees more than we Red Sox
fans?). 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 tries to outsmart Applegate...

Light, fast-paced and devilishly clever, “Damn Yankees” is a home-
run hit whose all-American subject matter and irreverent sense of
humor have brought many a sports fan into the theatre. In addition
to its many strong male roles, the show features a scene-stealing
role in Lola, plenty of opportunities for dance, and a catchy score
filled with rousing production numbers and popular favorites like
"Heart" and "Whatever Lola Wants."
