  • Program Notes
    PROGRAM NOTES By Joshua S. Ritter Goodspeed Education & Library Director You don’t have to be a baseball fan to know that the New York Yankees‐Boston Red Sox rivalry bitterly divides colleagues, neighbors, families, and Goodspeed patrons. In fact, according to The Harvard Sports Analysis Collective, East Haddam is located on the frontlines of this legendary baseball feud with slightly more than half the population favoring the Red Sox. What better way for Goodspeed to bring some levity to this divisive situation than with a hilarious musical comedy? Fortunately, Joe DiPietro’s side‐splitting adaptation of Damn Yankees contemporizes the book by replacing the defunct Washington Senators with the Boston Red Sox. We are pleased to have the opportunity to provide a neutral zone where members of the Yankees Universe and Red Sox Nation can forget their bitter differences for a few hours and share some laughs when the curtain goes up. Flashing back to the middle of the 20th century, Douglass Wallop’s 1954 novel The Year The Yankees Lost the Pennant was a best‐selling major league baseball twist on the Faust fable. Damn Yankees’ genesis was set in motion when William Morris agent Albert B. Taylor brought this property to the attention of legendary producer, director, writer, and actor George Abbott. Abbott and his team had just struck gold with the smash hit musical The Pajama Game, a show based on Richard Bissel’s novel 7½ Cents. Perhaps this monumental success gave Abbott the chutzpah to take the idea of a baseball musical seriously, despite the fact that all previous attempts at creating one were unsuccessful.

  • Chatting with Evita's Christina Decicco, the 'Alternate Eva'
    Friday, June 29, 2012 DIVA TALK Chatting With Evita’s Christina DeCicco, the ‘Alternate Eva’ By ANDREW GANS For those like myself who like to catch as many different actresses playing the role of Evita as possible, there is some exciting news: For two weeks this summer former Wicked star Christina DeCicco will step into the title role of the Tony Award-nominated Broadway revival of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical at the Marquis Theatre. DeCicco, who normally performs the role twice weekly — Wednesday evenings and Saturday matinees — will play the late Eva Peron six performances a week July 12-19 and August (dates to be announced shortly) while Argentinian actress and Olivier winner Elena Roger films a movie (during those two weeks Jessica Lea Patty will be the Alternate Eva). (For the record, this diva lover has enjoyed the Evitas of Tony winner Patti LuPone, Derin Altay, Nancy Opel, Donna Marie Elio [now Asbury], Judy McLane, Natalie Toro, Felicia Finley, Elena Roger, and, come July 7, Ms. DeCicco.) Although DeCicco has only gotten to play the role about 20 times, her co-stars have lavished her with praise. Rachel Potter, who plays Peron’s Mistress, previously told me, “Christina is from New York. She’s an American through and through, and she brings such a different energy, but it’s so, so great, and I hope that more and more people will come see her because she’s fantastic....Her voice is stunning, and we’re all very, very proud of her because obviously being an alternate is never an easy job.
