Damn Yankees (Revival, Jerry Lewis)
Choose options
The high-profile 1994 Broadway revival framework of Richard Adler and Jerry Ross’s baseball musical comedy 'Damn Yankees' received a staggering injection of star-powered entertainment history when cinematic comedy icon Jerry Lewis stepped triumphantly into the unctuous, Faustian role of Applegate (the Devil). Taking the stage of the Marquis Theatre before fronting a massive national and international touring expansion, Lewis made a historic, monumentally anticipated Broadway debut at the mature peak of his career. Infusing the role with his legendary physical slapstick, loose improvisation, and showstopping comedic bits, Lewis’s acclaimed run proved a major commercial box office juggernaut.
