Those Damn Yankees

Soundtrack Image

So as you may know, Boonville High School is doing Damn Yankees for the Spring Musical this year. I got the part of Mickey, he's a baseball player. I also get to do a lot of dancing.

Damn Yankees is about an old man named Joe Boyd who would just love to see the Washington Senators beat the Yankees. He wants it so much he is willing to sell his soul to the devil, Applegate. Applegate doesn't like it, but made a deal to turn Joe into the greatest ball player so he can play for the Senators to beat the Yankees, and changes his last name to Hardy. The part that Applegate doesn't like is that he gave Joe an escape clause. He has until a certain day to wim the penant. If he doesn't win by then, he will be forced to work for Applegate.

So during the show, games go on, and Lola, Applegates seductive assistant, tries to convince Joe Hardy to fall in love with him so that he will be stuck to work for Applegate also.

Another event going on is that the reporter, Gloria, starts of kind of suspicious of Joe Hardy. Later on in the show, Applegate "accidentaly" tells Gloria a false rumer about Joe which leads them into court, on his last day of being Joe Hardy until he is stuck as Joe Hardy forever and working for Applegate. This causes alot of difficulty for Joe.
