In 2014 the "Bronx Bombers," a drama based on Yankees legends, will make its Broadway premiere.
According to USA Today the play will begin performances on January 10, 2014 at Circle in the Square. The play has been running off Broadway since September and will be moving to the bigger stage.
Some of the legendary players who will be represented in the play are Yogi Bera, played by Peter Scolari, Joe DiMaggio, Reggie Jackson, and Derek Jeter. Scolari's wife Tracy Shayne will be playing Carmen Berra, the wife of Yogi.
"We are excited to bring the legacy of The New York Yankees and their proud tradition to the equally proud tradition of the Broadway theatre," producer Fran Kirmser said in a statement.
Playbill.com writes that the play, written by Eric Simonson, will be produced by Kirmser, who also produced Simonson's "Lombardi" and "Magic/Bird," and Tony Ponturo.
This is how it is billed: "Ruth. Berra. Mantle. DiMaggio. Gehrig. Jeter. The New York Yankees have never had a shortage of star players… or controversy. Bronx Bombers is a new American play from the team behind Broadway's Lombardi that follows beloved icon Yogi Berra and his wife Carmen through a century of the team's trials and triumphs, bringing generations of Yankee greats together on one stage. As it celebrates and explores the timeless legacy of baseball’s most iconic team, Bronx Bombers takes a fascinating look at how and why the Yankees have remained so undeniably great… and so powerfully inspirational."
