One of America's most beloved musicals is coming back, dusted off and spit-shined for a new generation. All the elements that made it famous are there: a diehard love of baseball, one man's fateful (and hilarious) pact with the Devil, and Broadway's sexiest femme fatale... but gently re-tooled for its first major revival in the 21st Century. Featuring iconic songs like “Whatever Lola Wants” and “Who’s Got the Pain?”, this production immerses audiences in a whirlwind of temptation, ambition, love, and sacrifice in this bold new adaptation by Will Power and Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winner Doug Wright, additional lyrics by Tony Award-winner Lynn Ahrens, and directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Sergio Trujillo.
The producers and creative team of DAMN YANKEES are seeking actors of all races, cultural backgrounds, abilities, and gender identities to audition for all roles.
Black, middle-aged. Has a garrulous sense of humor. She’s one of Meg’s besties, thanks to her sunny disposition and buoyant smile. She’s got a heart of gold but loves to tease. FEATURED ENSEMBLE.
Middle-aged. Doris and Sister are joined at the hip, doing everything together, from playing cards to their weekly book club. Doris is a bit more reserved than Sister, and sometimes a bit embarrassed by her friend’s saucy humor. Any ethnicity; FEATURED ENSEMBLE.
Male-Presenting, middle-aged. The owner of the Baltimore Orioles, beleaguered by their losing streak, and desperate to turn their (and his) fortunes around. With their long-time interest in the team, his family’s reputation is at stake. Any ethnicity; FEATURED ENSEMBLE.

Polish, 20s. Devoted player for the Orioles.
Latino, 20s. Player for the Orioles who genuinely tries his best; he’s baffled – even discouraged – by the team’s persistent failure.
East Asian, 20s. Player for the Orioles. Just once, Ito would like to know what it feels like to slide across home plate for a home run.
20s. Second string pitcher for the Orioles.
20s. Lead pitcher for the Orioles.
