A damn sight
It’s a fusion of America’s pastimes and thematic obsessions — baseball, seduction and a deal with the devil. We talk with key cast members of the Tony-award winning Broadway classic Damn Yankees, including “young” Joe, who sold his soul to lead a winning baseball team, and the two more sinister forces: the legendarily irresistible Lola and her bumbling devil incarnate boss, Mr. Applegate. The musical is staged at Alhambra Theatre and Dining through April 5.
Guests:
- Allan Baker, actor playing Mr. Applegate in Damn Yankees
- Charity Walton, actor playing Lola in Damn Yankees
- Thad Walker, actor playing Joe Hardy in Damn Yankees
