DAMN YANKEES with Chryssie Whitehead

A Musical Theatre Podcast

Show Notes

Before we're officially out of July and the 250th anniversary of the United States, we had to create an All-American episode of AMTP celebrating our national pastime, baseball. (And no, we're not covering ALL AMERICAN.)

It's DAMN YANKEES, and we're doing it with the wonderful Chryssie Whitehead (A CHORUS LINE, CHICAGO, FOSSE). Tune in to hear all things sports, Verdon, and the profound humanity found in this crown jewel of Faustian musicals.

For more Chryssie, check out her website Chryssie Whitehead and look for exciting updates about the film release of her one woman show at In My Own Little Corner.

For more Adler & Ross, listen to our episode about the hit musical that premiered only one season before DAMN YANKEES: THE PAJAMA GAME with Jonathan Chisolm and Doug Carfrae.

Sometimes, the 90s really got it right. And the musical BRING IN 'DA NOISE, BRING IN 'DA FUNK is a great example.

When you explore a blockbusterlike Hamilton, you end up talking as much about the revolution behind the musical as the one inside it.
