The new revival of
Damn Yankees announced its lead cast, theater and dates at a press conference at Yankees Stadium. Major League Baseball and its production label MLB Studio will serve as co-producers of the baseball-themed 1955 musical. Tony and Emmy winner Neil Patrick Harris will star as Applegate, the incarnation of the devil who tempts a middle-aged baseball fan into becomes a youthful hitter in return for his soul. Julianne Hough of
Dancing with the Stars plays Lola, his seductive accomplice and Austin Scott (
Hamilton) will play Young Joe, Applegate's target. Previews begin March 24, 2027 at the Marquis Theater prior to an April 20 opening.
Tony winner Sergio Trujillo (Ain't Too Proud) directs and choreographs. The setting will be updated to the early 2000s with an adapted book by Doug Wright (I Am My Own Wife) and Will Power. Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime) writes additional lyrics. The original 1955 production was directed by George Abbott with choreography by Bob Fosse. Abbott co-wrote the book with Douglass Wallop based on the latter's novel The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant. Richard Adler and Jerry Ross wrote the score. A 1995 revival with Victor Garber and Bebe Neuwirth also featured book revisions and played the Marquis.
This revised edition previously appeared at Washington DC's Arena Stage.
