Those "DAMN YANKEES"
The Countess had a girl's night out with her daughter, daughter-in-law, and DIL's mother. All the ladies are big Red Sox fans and this was the perfect show to see.
You know that when you live in Red Sox Nation that a show like 'Damn Yankees' is bound to be a big hit.The North Shore Music Theater in Beverly, Mass. has opened its 2006 season with an all new production of DAMN YANKEES, created just for NSMT audiences, and presented in association with The Boston Red Sox. NSMT puts a new spin on this hilarious and heart-warming classic which now tells the story of a die-hard Red Sox fan who makes a deal with the devil to help the Sox take the pennant from the dreaded Yankees.
Set in 1957, the devil warns that if Joe Hardy doesn't complete his pact with Satan, that it could be another 50 years before the Red Sox win the pennant and break Babe Ruth's curse!
But with a hunky George Merrick as Joe Hardy and a cast of beautiful baseball players in various stages of undress, who cares about the World Series anyway!And now we know that the devil is a Yankees fan! Many hisses and boos from the audience when this little tidbit was revealed.
