A ONE-NIGHT-ONLY BENEFIT CONCERT READING

A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTORDear Friend,

Thank you so much for joining us for this special, one-night-only presentation of Damn Yankees at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre. I am so thrilled to be bringing Richard Adler, Jerry Ross, George Abbott, and Douglass Wallop’s classic musical back to the Broadway stage under the direction of three-time Tony Award® winner Kathleen Marshall. Kathleen is a longtime member of the Roundabout family whose many directing and choreography credits with Roundabout include our revival of another Richard Adler and Jerry Ross collaboration: The Pajama Game, which won the 2006 Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Musical and Best Choreography. I have no doubt that Damn Yankees will make for an unforgettable night of theatre.

Winner of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Damn Yankees has remained an iconic pillar of the American theatrical canon since its Broadway premiere in 1955. A trove of timeless showtunes and enduring characters, Damn Yankees asks just how much we might be willing to give up in pursuit of our dreams, chronicling the hilarity—and heartache—that ensues when a “love of the game” gets pushed to the outlandish extreme. In the more than 60 years since this show first landed on Broadway, its exploration of one character’s Faustian bargain for triumph and fame feels even more relevant now than it did then. I am so excited to share this landmark musical with you tonight, presented by one of the most extraordinary casts that could be asked for.

It is your generosity that makes all our work both on and off the stage possible. As a not-for-profit, we are dedicated to making theatre affordable and accessible to all audiences, but only 57% of our budget is covered by ticket sales. It is the support of our extraordinary Board of Directors and donors like you that not only helps fund the productions we mount on each of our five stages both on and Off-Broadway, but also helps sustain the rich array of programming that we do behind the scenes, including an influential education program that serves our city’s public school students and teachers; a New Play Initiative that finds and commissions new writers every year; and our highly-acclaimed Roundabout Underground season that produces and nurtures the next generation of playwrights.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, and Scott Landis for their help in making this evening possible, as well as to the entire creative team and the Roundabout staff for bringing this reading to life tonight. And a huge thank you to Google for sponsoring this event and to all the Benefit Underwriters: Roxanne and Scott Bok, Michael T. Cohen, Colliers International New York LLC, Kiendl and John Gordon, Tom and Kitty Patterson Kempner, and Diane and Tom Tuft.

Once again, thank you so much for joining us on this special night, and I hope you enjoy Damn Yankees.

Sincerely,

Todd HaimesArtistic Director/CEO

ABOUT THE PLAY

In 1994, when the New York Rangers won hockey’s Stanley Cup for the first time since 1940, a man in the stands held up a sign that read: “Now I Can Die in Peace.” Does that seem extreme? Then you must not be a sports fan.

The highs and lows that come with loyalty to a team have more in common with the dramas seen on a Broadway stage than you might initially think. There are heroes and villains, twists and turns, agonies and ecstasies. A standing ovation is just as well-earned by a spectacular catch as by a show-stopping dance number. For the truest of fans, sports can feel like the stuff of life and death, and the need to see a beloved team become victorious can take on epic proportions.

That’s how Douglas Wallop was feeling in the 1950s as he watched his Washington Senators play baseball. At the time, the saying around town was, “Washington: first in peace, first in war, last in the American League.” Watching his team lose, particularly to the dynastic Yankees, over and over again, Wallop wondered what a fan might be willing to do to save his team. To be a fan is to be without control, and while you might observe some superstitions in the hope of influencing an outcome (wearing the same socks, eating the same food), there’s little to do but yell at the television when things go awry.

But what if a fan were given the chance to actually change something? Somehow this question made Wallop land on a German legend dating back to the 16th century—that of Faust, who made a deal with the devil himself, trading in his soul as the price for getting what he wanted. In his novel The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant, Wallop brought that same deal into the world of baseball and told the story of a fan who bargained his soul to help the Washington Senators win.

Musicals thrive on high stakes, and what could be more dramatic than a ticket straight to hell? Wallop’s novel was published in 1954, and by 1955 he had teamed up with director/librettist George Abbott and the songwriting team of Richard Adler and Jerry Ross (hot off the success of The Pajama Game) to bring this story to the stage under the title of Damn Yankees. With choreography by Bob Fosse and a breakout turn by Gwen Verdon as the devil’s henchwoman Lola, the show was a huge success. It won 7 Tony Awards® and ran for more than 1,000 performances.

Damn Yankees remains a beloved show today partially because of its incredible score, packed full of hits like “Whatever Lola Wants” and “Heart.” But it also speaks to the passion that a sports fan of any era feels for their team. The Washington Senators may not be around anymore (they long ago became the Minnesota Twins), but that desperate need to see your team win will never go away. After all, “Now I Can Die in Peace” isn’t so far off from giving your soul to the devil for a pennant, is it?

Virtuosity and imagination

combine in one utterly unique

event, as Tony and Emmy Award

winner John Lithgow creates a

singularly intimate evening.

With equal measures of humor

and heart, he evokes memories of family, explores and

expands the limits of the actor’s craft, and masterfully

conjures a cast of indelible characters from classic short

stories by Ring Lardner and PG Wodehouse. Lithgow

elevates the magic of storytelling to masterful new

heights, with a performance The New York Times calls

“a tour de force.”
