Show Information: *Damn Yankees* Music and Lyrics by Richard Adler and
Jerry Ross Book by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop Based on the novel
"The Year The Yankees Lost The Pennant" by Douglass Wallop

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 to victory
in the pennant race against the New York Yankees. 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 he's left behind.
Featuring songs such as "Heart", "Who's Got the Pain?" and, "Whatever Lola
Wants," a devilishly good time will be had by all!

greedy smooth talker. Male, 40-50 yrs old

caring. Very involved in community activities. Female, 35-45 yrs old
