Don't adjust your internet browser—this is yet more sports news on Playbill dot com! If you've been dying to see Broadway's Derek Klena shake it as part of the singing-and-dancing baseball team The Savannah Bananas, we have some great news. Roku will stream five Savannah Bananas games via its free, no-subscription-required Roku Sports channel. Broadcasts are planned for April 26, July 4, August 9, September 18, and September 25.

Klena, a Broadway leading man alum of such musicals as Moulin Rouge!, joined the fan favorite sports team earlier this year. The Bananas are part of the U.S. Banana Ball Championship League, a new sports phenomenon that pairs America's favorite pastime with fully choreographed dance breaks. In the third inning, second batter, second pitch, the game is halted for a pre-pitch dance that regularly seems to go viral on TikTok. Games (limited to two hours) also include appearances from senior citizen dance team the Banana Nanas, dad bod cheerleading squad the Man-Nanas, dancing umpire Vincent Chapman, breakdancing first base coach Maceo Harrison, and a nightly baby in a banana costume.

Klena has made the bulk of his career thus far on stage, also starring on Broadway in Jagged Little Pill, Anastasia, The Bridges of Madison County, and Wicked and in Dogfight and Carrie Off-Broadway.

The Roku Sports Channel is available at TheRokuChannel.com, and on Roku devices and TVs via apps on iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung, and Google TV.
