JOHNNY BASEBALL World Premiere Musical
Music by Robert Reale
Lyrics by Willie Reale
Book by Richard Dresser
Story by Richard Dresser and Willie Reale
Directed by Diane Paulus
May 16 – June 27, 2010
at the AMERICAN REPERTORY THEATER
JOHNNY BASEBALL dramatizes the collision of three orphaned souls: Johnny O’Brien, a hard luck right hander on the 1919 Sox team; the indomitable Babe Ruth; and Daisy Wyatt, a dazzling African-American blues singer and the love of Johnny’s life. The entanglements of love, friendship, and betrayal in these lives contain both the reason for the “Curse” and the secret to its end at the bat of Big Papi in 2004.
JOHNNY BASEBALL packs a thoughtful commentary on American social history into a fun and spirited musical that will bring cheers and tears to baseball fans everywhere.
JOHNNY BASEBALL will receive its world premiere at the A.R.T.’s home, the 556-seat Loeb Drama Center in the heart of Harvard Square. Families and fans of the theater will be invited to enjoy a “pre-play picnic” with Fenway-inspired fare served in the lobby areas and terrace at the A.R.T.
