The Curse
is Reversed!
A Musical Tribute to the Red
Sox
(Formerly
known as the Curse of the Bambino Musical)
|
|
This loving
tribute to the Red Sox and their fans
premiered in 2001 at Boston's Lyric
Stage, and was later produced at
Stoneham's Theater
To Go in 2004 and - after a revision
that includes the team's first World
Series Victory in 86 years, at Waltham's
Hovey Players in 2007.
During interviews for the original
production at the Lyric Stage our
director, Spiro Veloudos, was often asked
what would happen if the Sox finally won
the series (at that point an 83-year
drought.) He would smile and say "well,
then we'll take the credit."
The Sox have since won four. You're
welcome, New England.
Steven Bergman, who composed the music and
wrote lyrics for some of the tunes, has
posted the original cast album (generously
funded by Peter Dupre) on Spotify, Apple
Music, and here on YouTube.
Thanks, Steve.

"In its
first at-bat, 'The Curse of the
Bambino certainly steps up to the
plate... The songs are a hoot... a
delightful series of tunes that
describes the many close calls the Red
Sox have had."

Byrne, Boston Herald (April 27, 2001)

Kruh's book is a good one, funny and
stylish..."

"lovingly
crafted...
shrewd casting... 'The Curse of
Bambino' has got a special whammy all
its own."
