DAMN YANKEES
This seven Tony® Award-winning Best Musical tells the tale of Joe Boyd, a middle-aged baseball fanatic who sells his soul to the Devil for a chance to lead his favorite team, the hapless Washington Senators, in the pennant race against the New York Yankees – only to learn that there is more to life than home runs. Its highly acclaimed score includes such show-stoppers as “You Gotta Have Heart,” “Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets” and “Those Were the Good Old Days.”
