DAMN YANKEES Auditions

About the project and the company

Reboot Theatre Company, in association with Theater Off Jackson, is ready to hit it out of the park with DAMN YANKEES, book by Douglass Wallop & George Abbot; Music and Lyrics by Jerry Ross & Richard Adler. Performances run September 6 – 21, 2024.

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. The winning score by Adler and Ross, and a devilish book by George Abbot, have made this sporty musical comedy a true American classic.

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 that he’s left behind.

Light, fast-paced and devilishly clever, Damn Yankees is a home-run hit, featuring all-American subject matter and an irreverent sense of humor.

What does Damn Yankees look like at Reboot? “Batter up! Hear that call! The time has come for one and all… to play ball.”
