Damn Yankees
Virginia Samford Theatre 1116 26th Street South, Vestavia Hills, Alabama 35205
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, the Washington Senators, to victory in the pennant race against the New York Yankees. Mr. Applegate grants his wish, turning him into a 22 year old sports superstar who must go back to his wife before 9 pm on the final game day if he doesn’t want Mr. Applegate to get his soul. Based on the novel “The Year The Yankees Lost The Pennant” by Douglass Wallop, DAMN YANKEES was a Broadway mega-hit and winner of 7 TONY Awards including Best Musical! A light, fast-paced, and devilishly clever romantic comedy, sure to please. For more information, visit www.virginiasamfordtheatre.org or call 205.251.1206.
