Avg. Event Rating (4.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Fountain Hills Community Theater is proud to announce the opening of the classic baseball musical Damn Yankees. What better way to spend a summer night? Damn Yankees is a modern retelling of the Faust legend set during the 1950s in Washington, D.C., during a time when the New York Yankees dominated Major League Baseball. The musical is based on Wallop's novel The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant. Damn Yankees opened on Broadway at the 46th Street Theatre on May 5, 1955, transferred to the Adelphi Theatre on May 16, 1957, and ran for a total of 1,019 performances. Directed by George Abbott, the production starred Gwen Verdon in the role of seductive temptress Lola and Ray Walston in the part of Mr. Applegate (the Devil). The musical also featured a young Jean Stapleton before her career-defining role as Edith Bunker in All in the Family. The production was Bob Fosse's first Broadway hit as a choreographer. Special Independence Day Performance: Special early performance at 7:00pm on the 4th of July, so that patrons can enjoy the beautiful fireworks display visible from our parking lot and patio area after the show!

    Darling summertime fun! FHCT manages to stage this huge musical in their small space with gusto. Acting is great particulary Mr. Applegate (who steals the show) and young Joe.
