Veteran actor Whoopi Goldberg is set to star in the benefit concert performance of "Damn Yankees".
Goldberg will play the fictional devil in the show penned by George Abbott, Douglass Wallop, Richard Adler, and Jerry Ross, reported Entertainment Weekly.
Actor Maggie Gyllenhaal will play Lola and James Earl Jones will play baseball team owner Mr Welch opposite Goldberg's Applegate in the special reading of the Tony- winning 1955 musical, which follows a frustrated baseball fan who sells his soul to the devil in order to help his favourite team win.
The show is a beloved classic musical and was last revived on Broadway in 1994 with Victor Garber and Bebe Neuwirth.
Kathleen Marshall will direct the one-night-only concert, which will take place on December 11 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.
