Neil Patrick Harris to Star in ‘Damn Yankees’ Broadway Revival
A Broadway revival of *Damn Yankees*, starring Neil Patrick Harris and Julianne Hough, is scheduled to open next spring. It will be the show’s first Broadway revival in more than 30 years, and its updated story moves the action from the 1950s to the early 2000s.
Harris will play Applegate, the devil in disguise, with Hough making her Broadway debut as Lola and Austin Scott playing Young Joe; the rest of the cast has not been announced. Previews at the Marquis Theatre begin on 24 March, ahead of opening night on 20 April. The production follows a run at Washington’s Arena Stage and is the first Broadway show to partner with Major League Baseball and MLB Studios.
