Bronx Bombers - 2014 - Broadway History , Info & More

Ruth. Berra. Mantle. DiMaggio. Gehrig. Jeter. The New York Yankees have never had a shortage of star players... or controversy. Bronx Bombers is a new American play from the team behind Broadway's Lombardi that follows beloved icon Yogi Berra and his wife Carmen through a century of the team's trials and triumphs, bringing generations of Yankee greats together on one stage. As it celebrates and explores the timeless legacy of baseball's most iconic team, Bronx Bombers takes a fascinating look at how and why the Yankees have remained so undeniably great... and so powerfully inspirational.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Bronx Bombers

Theater review: 'Bronx Bombers'
5 / 10

First there was football, with the mediocre 'Lombardi.' Then came basketball, with the bad 'Magic/Bird,' and now baseball, with the worse 'Bronx Bombers' (presented with 'special producing partners' the Yankees and Major League Baseball). Wake me when they get to horseshoes.

Bronx Bombers: Theater Review
6 / 10

The third in a series of sports-themed Broadway productions that are as much promotional as dramatic-the Yankees and Major League Baseball are among the presenters--Bronx Bombers offers little for those who are not already ardent fans of the venerable sports franchise...The effective cast of last year's original off-Broadway production is largely intact, with the exception of Scolari, who's touching and funny as the ever-awkward Berra. And the moving final scene, set in the Yankees locker room on the day of the final game at the original stadium, will surely strike a chord with nostalgists. But Bronx Bombers is ultimately too lightweight to score a theatrical home run.
