| Did
you ever want something so badly that you would be willing to sell
your soul to the Devil in order to get it? Well Joy Boyd, a
died-in-the-wool Washington Senator’s fan does just that in
the smash Broadway musical, Damn Yankees. Having watched
the Senators lose to the Yankees time and time again, Joe Boyd strikes
a deal with the Devil and is transformed into a young long-ball hitter
named Joe Hardy so he can lead his favorite team to victory over those
damn Yankees. However, Joe’s deal includes an out-clause. If
the Senators win the pennant before his time runs out, the Devil forfeits
his claim to Joe’s soul and Joe gets to return to his beloved
wife, Meg. The Devil, however, humiliated that he was suckered
into such a lousy deal, has no intention of allowing Joe’s soul
to slip through his fingers. To ensure a victory for himself,
the Devil dispatches his secret weapon, a vamp named Lola, to manipulate
and distract Joe from his goal. Will Joe be able to lead his
team to victory before time runs out, or will Lola’s charms
hand the Devil his soul. It’s a musical! What do
you think? |
| Originally
directed and choreographed by the legendary Bob Fosse, and starring
