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!

Character Breakdown: (partial listing)

JOE BOYD A middle-aged, frumpy married man who is in love with baseball, especially the Senators. Male, 40-50 yrs old

MR. APPLEGATE The Devil in disguise as a slick salesman. A controlling, greedy smooth talker. Male, 40-50 yrs old

VAN BUREN The luckless team manager. A sort of father-figure for the team, who proudly defends them. A bit of a loose cannon. Male, 50-60 yrs old

MEG BOYD Joe's long-suffering, but loyal wife. She is lonely and misses her husband. Decides a little white lie is worth telling to save a good person. Female, 35-45 yrs old

GLORIA THORPE A probing reporter whose bottom-line is a good story for her paper. Fearless and biting. Female, 25-35 yrs old

MR. WELCH The owner of the Senators. Believes in Joe and believes in his team. A peacekeeper between the press and the team. Protective of Joe and the boys. Male, 50-60 yrs old

SOHOVIK A baseball player for the Washington Senators. The smartest and most level-headed of the players. Enjoys his side job of selling insurance. The unofficial leader of the team. Male, 25-35 yrs old

ROCKY A baseball player for the Washington Senators. Cocky, but a little bit dopey, too. He’s a guy’s guy. Male, 25-35 yrs old

SMOKEY A catcher for the Washington Senators. Not the sharpest tool in the shed. Tries to be a tough guy like Rocky, but truly is not. Male, 25-35 yrs old
