Review: DAMN YANKEES at Marriott Theatre, Lincolnshire
by Tina St. Angelo Wetzel - April 20, 2023
The new production at Marriott Theatre Lincolnshire is Damn Yankees, a truly classic old time big Broadway musical. With a book by George Abbott (died at age 107) and Douglass Wallop and one of the great scores by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross (died at the young age of 29), this has always been an underrated musical.
