Two-time Tony Award-winner James Naughton's recording of the Bill Weeden song "One Big Team" is featured all week on the YES Network's "Yankees Magazine."

Following last week's airing of the behind-the-music style feature on the recording session, Yankees Magazine, the official YES Network Yankees show, will air the song video that features the vocals of Naughton (Chicago, City of Angels) and archival video clips of great Yankee players from every era.

"One Big Team," written by Bill Weeden and produced by Jeff Cohen and Dog Run Productions, is fast becoming the new Yankees' theme song as they launch their drive to the 2006 World Series. "One Big Team" is featured live in the Off Broadway musical revue Into The Weeds - Selections from the Bill Weeden Songbook.

Dog Run Rep's Into the Weeds, is a musical revue conceived and directed by Cohen. It has been extended at the West Bank Café, 407 West 42nd Street at 9th Avenue, through September 30th - Saturday nights at 11 PM - except for Saturday, September 9th which will be a 5 PM curtain.

The show features the following cast: Ted Anderson, Melissa Center, Grey Garrett, Hilary Mann, Kristen Rozanski, John Paul Skocik, Michael Vaccaro, Eddie Varley, Amanda Weeden, Bill Weeden & John Weisenburger.

Into the Weeds is an eclectic sampling of songs written and performed over the last forty years by composer/performer Bill Weeden and a host of friends and collaborators including Sally Fay, Ethan Fein and David Finkle. The team of Weeden, Finkle and Fay won the 1980 NACCA Award (which later became the MAC) as Best Cabaret Comedy Group. Their musical Move It and It's Yours was named New Jersey's "Best New Musical" in 1998. Several of their songs are featured in Martin Charnin's popular The No-Frills Revue.

Tickets for all shows are $15 and there is a two-drink minimum. Additionally, Into the Weeds and The West Bank Café will offer free admission and a special discount menu to all Broadway Performers who want to come and unwind after their Saturday night shows
