Based on The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant by Douglass Wallop.
Joe Boyd is a loyal baseball fan who is frustrated that his favorite team, the Washington Senators, will never win the pennant. In a moment of weakness, he states that he would sell his soul to the devil to make it happen. Unforturnately, the devil heard him.
Joe Boyd is transformed into Joe Hardy, a young, dashing, hard-hitting ballplayer who leads the Senators to victory in almost every match. However, Joe misses his wife Meg, and ultimately returns happily to his middle-aged life.
Audition Preparation Suggestions for
Damn Yankees
The music in this show is not difficult and lends itself well to "character" voices. Female performers with their sights set on the role of Lola should consider looking at the role of Gladys in Pajama Game for audition material. |
