THE SHOW
This classic musical is a re-telling of the Faust tale. Overweight, aging baseball fan, Joe Boyd, makes a pact with the Devil (a.k.a. Mr. Applegate) so that the hapless Washington Senators can win the pennant just once. Poof! Joe is transformed into power-hitter Joe Hardy. Though nearly trapped by a soul-greedy Devil and tempted by Applegate’s reluctant but luscious sidekick, Lola, Joe learns where his heart truly belongs. The musical, recently revived on Broadway, features favorite tunes Heart, Whatever Lola Wants, Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, Mo, and Those Were the Good Old Days.
