Bronx Bombers producers Fran Kirmser and Tony Ponturo and Yankees-Steiner Collectibles (www.steinersports.com) have partnered to create the Yankees' greatest memorabilia museum in Manhattan in the lobby of Circle in the Square Theatre (West 50th Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue), beginning with the first performance on January 10, 2014.

All ticket holders will have full access to the museum and lobby memorabilia experience.

This will be the first time the memorabilia will be showcased in a public venue and the only place in New York City to view Yankees-Steiner Sports memorabilia.

Memorabilia will include Yankee Stadium seats from the original "House that Ruth Built," authentic 2008 Yankee Stadium dirt collage, autographed jerseys, stained plexi glass featuring NY Yankees and autographed plaques by players including Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, Yogi Berra and Joe DiMaggio.

A variety of items will be available for purchase through silent auctions and the Bronx Bombers website. Auction winners will be announced at intermission and on the web. For more information, please visit Bronx Bombers website.

Quote from Brandon Steiner "If you are a sports fan...Bronx Bombers on Broadway is the place to be. This is an incredible theatrical experience and an opportunity to view some of the Yankees greatest memorabilia."

Quote from Fran Kirmser & Tony Ponturo: "We are thrilled to partner with Yankees-Steiner Collectibles and offer Bronx Bombers audiences an exclusive Yankees experience in the Times Square area when they visit Circle in the Square Theatre."

Bronx Bombers, a new American play written and directed by Eric Simonson, will begin performances on Broadway starting January 10, 2014 at Circle in the Square Theatre (West 50th Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue). Tickets are now on sale at Telecharge.com.

Peter Scolari, last seen on Broadway as Michael Daly in Lucky Guy will take on the role of America's icon Yogi Berra. He was the co-star of the Emmy Award-winning television series "Bosom Buddies" and "Newhart." Scolari can currently be seen on HBO's "Girls." Scolari's wife Tracy Shayne will perform the role ofCarmen Berra, returning to Broadway following performances as Roxie Hart in Chicago, Christine in The Phantom of The Opera and Cosette in Les Miserables.

The cast also features Francois Battiste (Reggie Jackson), Chris Henry Coffey (Joe DiMaggio), Bill Dawes (Mickey Mantle), Christopher Jackson (Derek Jeter),Keith Nobbs (Billy Martin), John Wernke (Lou Gehrig) and C.J. Wilson (Babe Ruth).

Joining Kirmser and Ponturo as special producing partners are the New York Yankees and Major League Baseball, marking these organizations' first foray on Broadway.

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.

Bronx Bombers is the third work in a sports series for the stage conceived by producer Fran Kirmser. This is also the third work in the series where Tony Ponturohas brought major sports leagues to the theatre. Kirmser & Ponturo strive to build new original works and bring new patrons to experience the magic of the stage by combining the drama of sports and theater through Kirmser Ponturo Group. Lombardi and Magic/Bird were the first two productions of that vision. Bronx Bombers is the third production.
