"Damn Yankees"

CAROUSEL DINNER THEATRE - Akron, OH

Hey, Indians fans! This one's for you! Joe Boyd is addicted to baseball, particularly the Cleveland Indians. He is willing to do whatever it takes to bring his team to victory and win the American League pennant against the team we all love to hate – those Damn Yankees!

To become an all-star player, he is willing to sell his soul. Although there is an escape clause, the devil, "Mr. Applegate," is determined to keep Joe from returning to his normal life. The humorous and laugh-out-loud antics of the devil will have you in baseball stitches! His efforts are highlighted by the seductress, Lola. "Whatever Lola Wants (Lola Gets)," "Those Were the Good Old Days," and "Shoeless Joe" are entertaining additions to the score that will have you rooting for more!

INDIANS ARE VICTORIOUS . . . INDIANS WIN THE PENNANT!!!
