“Not only do you have baseball players from different parts of history, but players that have distinct identities and characters and personalities,” Simonson said. “And you get that in spades between Ruth and Yogi, Mickey and DiMaggio – they’re all just incredibly delightful characters to write for.”

"Over the weekend, while the rest of New York was gearing up for a Super Bowl that didn’t quite live up to the hype, I had the pleasure of catching a matinee performance of the new “Bronx Bombers” play at the Circle in the Square theatre. I’m happy to say that I enjoyed the performance very much; moving the Bronx to Broadway is no easy task, but they’ve succeeded.” - Bryan Hoch, Mlb.com (Bombers Beat)

A Glam Slam saw a preview performance of “Bronx Bombers,” and spoke with Woolard about the process of designing the costumes, and the challenges and pressures of satisfying passionate Yankees fans.” - Heather Zeller, A Glam Slam
