A single black umbrella turned up outside the stage door on Saturday, and that, darlings, is how the whole thing began. It had no owner, no note and nineteen tiny scorch marks along the handle. Sources close to the situation say it belongs to the devil's new publicist.
Yes, that devil. Neil Patrick Harris and Julianne Hough are reviving Damn Yankees on Broadway next spring, the show's first revival in more than 30 years, and the Prince of Darkness has reportedly lawyered up. Not lawyered. Publicised. He has a team now.
Insiders whisper that Harris is "extremely likely" to be playing Applegate, the smooth-talking fiend who buys a baseball fan's soul. The devil, we hear, saw the news on his phone and immediately asked who was doing his hair.
"My client has no issue with the casting," his spokesperson told SnarkWire. "He has notes on the tap numbers. He would like fewer of them."
