You have four more days to enter to win a limited edition autographed custom baseball card set from Bull Durham: A NEW MUSICAL's World Premiere opening night, featuring Crash (Will Swenson), Annie (Melissa Errico), and Nuke (John Behlmann). Errico is running the contest on her Facebook page!

The Alliance Theatre in Atlanta opened the world premiere of Bull Durham, a new musical based on the beloved 1988 film on September 3, and the show closed last weekend on October 5. Directed by Kip Fagan (Off-Broadway: The Revisionist), Bull Durham has a book by Academy Award-nominee Ron Shelton (director and screenwriter of the Bull Durham movie) and music and lyrics by Susan Werner.

BULL DURHAM, loosely based on Ron Shelton's experiences on and off the field with a Minor League Baseball team, tells the story of three lives brought together by America's two favorite pastimes. Veteran catcher "Crash" Davis has been brought to the Durham Bulls to prepare rookie Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh, a hot rod pitcher with a "million dollar arm and a five cent head," for the majors. Annie Savoy, self-appointed high priestess and muse of the Bulls, has a hard decision to make - every season she transforms one lucky player from an also-ran to an all-star by sharing with them her wisdom, experience, and bed. The love triangle heats up quickly as each character struggles with their own desires and hopes for what the future holds. Bull Durham is a pitch perfect blend of comedy, drama, and steamy romance.

Broadway veterans John Behlmann, Melissa Errico, and Will Swenson star as the Veteran catcher "Crash" Davis (Swenson), rookie pitcher Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh (Behlmann) and Annie Savoy (Errico). John Behlmann made his Broadway debut in the Tony award winning Journey's End and has starred in the Tony nominated play The 39 Steps. Melissa Errico is a Tony Award nominee for her work in Amour. She was seen Off-Broadway as Clara in the recent revival of Passion and has a recurring role on Stephen Soderbergh's upcoming Cinemax series The Knick. Will Swenson is a Tony award nominee for his work in Hair and recently appeared in the revival of Les Miserables. He will resume his role as Inspector Javert on Broadway in Les Miserables on Oct. 9.
