“damn Yankees”“Damn Yankees,” a Tony Award-winning musical based on America’s favorite pastime, baseball, will open Friday, Sept. 12, at the Cumberland County Playhouse, 221 Tennessee Ave. in Crossville, Tenn.
The story opens with Joe Boyd (portrayed by Jim Crabtree) willing to do anything to see his beloved Washington Senators win the pennant, even sell his soul to the devil. So when charming Mr. Applegate (Jason Ross, at right), offers him a chance to dethrone the Yankees, Boyd can’t resist the temptation. The musical includes the songs “You Gotta Have Heart” and “Whatever Lola Wants.”
Tickets to the PG-rated production, which continues through Sunday, Nov. 9, are $26 for adults, $25 for seniors, $24 for groups, $13 for students. To order tickets, call 931-484-5000 or visit www.ccplayhouse.com.
