Bull Durham, A New Musical, which is based on the 1988 film, begins performances at Reynolds Industries Theater at Duke University September 10 for a run through September 22 in Durham, North Carolina.

Marc Bruni directs with choreography by Joshua Bergasse and music supervision by Vadim Feichtner. Josh Kight is the music director.

Tony nominee Carmen Cusack (Bright Star, Flying Over Sunset) stars as Annie Savoy, joined by Nik Walker (Hamilton, Ain't Too Proud) as Crash Davis and John Behlmann (Shucked, Tootsie, Significant Other) as Ebby Calvin "Nuke" Laloosh.

They are joined by Ashlyn Maddox as Millie, Brian Ray Norris as Skip, and Andrew Poston as Jimmy with Charles Holt, Melvin Grey, Jr., Greg Laux, Andrew Goins, Nicholas Kraft, Tre’ Booker, Blake Zelesnikar, Clifton Samuels, Brian Liebson, Matt Wiercinski, Jessi Little, Casey Wortham, Breia Joelle Kelley, Valentina Shelton, Ellie Barone, Sterling Nelson Jones, Chloe Calhoun, Daniel DiPinto, and Ira David Wood III.

Ron Shelton, who wrote and directed the original film, adapted his screenplay for the musical, and Susan Werner composed the music and lyrics.

The Bull Durham story weaves together baseball and romance as veteran catcher Crash Davis is brought in to mentor rookie pitcher Ebby Calvin "Nuke" Laloosh, while Annie Savoy, the team's muse, must choose between the two men.

Initially developed in 2014, this is a reworked adaptation with eyes on New York following the southern tryout.
