Damn Yankees
built 213 days ago
One of the most delightful musicals ever, Damn Yankees is a song and dance powerhouse where every number is a showstopper. By sticking with almost all of the Broadway cast and hewing close to the original story, the movie became artistically satisfying but commercially inert; Tab Hunter was not a musical draw and the picture didn't enjoy the success visited George Abbott's more conventionally romantic Doris Day musical Pajama Game of the previous year.

The 1993 Damn Yankees "Uprising Live!" video has been released on DVD by Rhino. You may recall that the Damn Yankees consisted of Ted Nugent, Jack Blades (Night Ranger), Tommy Shaw (Styx), and Michael Cartellone, and had a few pretty big hits in the early '90s. This DVD is a mixture of live performance (in Denver), interview segments, and plenty of funny goofing on each other.
