"Damn Yankees is a triumph! Broadway Showbiz at its fast-paced, skillful best!"
— New York Times
"Six months out of every year, when we cook for them it never pays; Instead of praising our goulash, they're appraising the plays of Willie Mays!"
So sings the wife of a1950's baseball fanatic who trades his soul to the Devil for a chance to lead his favorite team in the pennant race against The New York Yankees. He leaves her and the goulash behind and, 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 at home. With the help of a handy escape clause and a guiltridden temptress named Lola, Joe outsmarts the Devil, returns to his former self and shepherds the Senators to the World Series. Filled with hit songs like "Whatever Lola Wants", "You Gotta Have Heart"... and many more.
A devilishly good time musical... DAMN YANKEES's sassy and winning ways earned this baseball tale 8 Tony® Awards — including Best Musical. Don't miss DAMN YANKEES and score a grand slam at the Sunrise Theatre, Friday February 3, at 8 PM.
