“Damn Yankees” at Leonia High School

“Damn Yankees”
Music & Lyrics by Richard Adler & Jerry Ross
Book by George Abbott & Douglas Wallap

Overweight, aging baseball fan Joe Boyd makes a pact with the Devil so the hapless Washington Senators can win the pennant just once, and is transformed into a young power hitter. Though nearly trapped by a soul-greedy Devil and tempted by his reluctant but luscious sidekick Lola, Joe ultimately decides to return to his wife. A modern re-telling of the Faust tale.
