Faust meets professional baseball in this light, fast-paced and clever sendup of America’s favorite pastime. Joe Boyd is a middle-aged man who trades his soul to the Devil for a chance of a lifetime — to lead his favorite team to victory in the pennant race against the New York Yankees. A Broadway mega hit and winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Damn Yankees is a wicked, romantic comedy with an irreverent sense of humor that knocks it out of the park.

“A truly tremendous musical.”  — Journal-American

“Here’s a pennant winner if we ever saw one.”  — Daily Mirror

“What fun it is, in this fantasy about the national pastime, to watch the Devil scheme, a temptress vamp, an old man turn young and scrappy athletes reverse their fortunes.”  — The New York Times
