Whatever Lola wants, Broadway provides! A Damn Yankees revival is set for the Great White Way in Spring 2027, with Neil Patrick Harris as the devilish Mr. Applegate.
On Sunday, the Tony-winning actor arrived at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx to announce the revival in a press conference, along with co-stars Julianne Hough and Austin Scott, who have been cast Mr. Applegate’s seductive assistant Lola and the susceptible young baseballer Joe Boyd.
Beginning previews at the Marquis Theatre on March 24, 2027, one day before the first Yankees game of the season, the official opening night is set for April 20.
Directed and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, additional casting will be announced soon for the latest update of Richard Adler, Jerry Ross, George Abbott and Douglass Wallop’s 1955 musical comedy, featuring a new book by Will Power and Doug Wright, with additional lyrics by Lynn Ahrens.
