Damn Yankees

Carpenter Performing Arts Center
6200 Atherton St Long Beach

Based on the novel The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant by Douglass Wallop, Damn Yankees is a Broadway mega-hit and winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Middle-aged baseball fanatic Joe Boyd trades his soul to the Devil for a chance to lead his favorite team to victory in the pennant race against the New York Yankees. The winning score by Adler and Ross and a devilish book by George Abbot have made this sporty musical comedy a true American classic.

"...When it comes to classic stage musicals that are almost always guaranteed smile-inducing crowd-pleasers no matter where you see it---whether as a big budget Broadway revival or in a local high school auditorium---right up there is the 1955 Broadway home run DAMN YANKEES, the reliably peppy Tony Award-winning musical that cleverly combines show tunes and kick-lines with a Faust-ian tale revolving America's favorite pastime."

"...Clearly and cleanly, tried and true director Cynthia Ferrer and choreographer Alexis Carra Girbes trust the heart out of Adler and Ross's 1955 Broadway classic, Damn Yankees. Musical Theater West's fall treat at Carpenter Performing Arts Center in Long Beach is glowing and glorious fun. Their faithful recreation gets richly rewarded by complete and accurate orchestrations brought to vivid glory by conductor Matthew Smedal, clever 50s' costumes by Amy Setterlund, and the sheer verve of music and movement. It never strikes out, hits for the bleachers, and scores big in every inning - I mean, scene. In MTW's seasons of surefire musicals, this easily makes the top tier."
