Samples
from the Curse of the Bambino CD
SOLD OUT
Hit the
baseball below each picture to listen...
1946 was
the first of five "Cursed" seasons told in song
during
the show by the Royal Rooters (Peter Carey,
Brent
Reno, Peter Dupre, and Britton White), shown
here surrounding
J.H. Williston, who played Babe Ruth.
Confronted
by a skeptical cub reporter, the
Babe (J.H.
Williston in his Red Sox uniform)
tells
what it is like to be baseball's
"Home
Run King".
In 1920
Women had just gotten the vote, but
Betty
Danvers (Eileen Nugent) sings that
there
is more to "What a Woman Can Do"
Jake Ruppert
(John
Davin) tries to explain to
Harry
Frazee (Robert Jacobs) what it means to be
a "Baseball
Man."
In 1978
a weak hitting shortstop named Bucky Dent
hit a
home run that put the Yankees ahead for good
in a one-game
playoff. He also gave our Rooters
(shown
with the Father) another "Curse" to sing about...
We hope
you enjoyed the clips.

We were
thrilled to have Chris Herrlein, the great-grandson of the Babe himself,
at the April 27 performance of Curse of the Bambino. Chris loved
the show and was a real sport, signing autographs for the audience, cast,
and crew, as well as posing for this photo with our own Babe Ruth, who
is played by J.H. Williston
