<h2><em>A wild musical appears!</em></h2>
<p>“BALLS” is an action-packed immersive experience about the MONSTERS we collect and the FIGHTS we choose to fight. Be the very first to start a “NEW GAME” in this one-of-a-kind extravaganza, overflowing with 8-bit bops, improvised battles, and 151 original Collectabuddies.</p>
<p>MONSTERS WERE SCARY. AND THE PROFESSOR WAS SCARED. So he squished ‘em down into little balls, and created a safer world: where monsters are pets &#8211; and pets do what they’re told. But when these “Collectabuddies” begin to BITE BACK, the Professor and his piece-of-sh*t grandson are forced to battle their past conceptions of right and wrong to save the game they helped create.</p>
<p><em>“Project we love!”</em><br />
-Kickstarter</p>
<p><em>“Turn your hat sideways and make your pets fight in this hilarious…unique interactive experience.”</em><br />
-Games Press</p>
<p><em>“I can not wait to see this musical”</em><br />
-“Video Game Journalist”</p>
<p><em>“&#8230;from beginning to end: every performance is a new adventure.”</em><br />
-Broadway World</p>
<p>Created by Brandon Zelman (“<em>Who’s that Pokémon? Podcast”, “Cat in the Hat Podcast”</em>) and Harrison Bryan (<em>“A Hanukkah Carol, or GELT TRIP! The Musical”, “NY Innovative Theatre Award” Winner</em>), “BALLS” features new music by an Elite Team of award-winning composers spanning Broadway, Hollywood, The West End, and TikTok, with an evocative score built around nostalgia. Composers include: Lena Gabrielle (“<em>Six”, “Emojiland</em>”), Pippa Cleary (“<em>My Son’s a Queer”, ”The Great British Bake Off Musical”</em>), Joriah Kwamé (“<em>Little Miss Perfect</em>”), Aaron Kenny (“<em>The Little Mermaid”, “A Hanukkah Carol</em>”), and Grace Yurchuk (“<em>Caesar: The Musical</em>”). Additional Music by Matthew Ryan Hunter (“<em>NBC</em>”) with Orchestrations, Arrangements, and Music Supervision by Lena Gabrielle.</p>

In 1959 I started saving newspapers that had Yankees on the covers, and in 1969 I started a quest to get every major athletes autograph. I started with the NY Jets getting Joe Namath and branched out to getting my idol Mickey Mantle in the Yankee locker room, and trading pictures with his agent Roy True, to Muhammad Ali, who I became friends with and did a TNT SPECIAL with. My Jamaica High School education was highlighted by having my picture in the Daily News getting Mickey Mantle’s autograph as a senior. My 3 idols in sports were Muhammad Ali, Mickey Mantle and Dave DeBusschere. My college education at LaGuardia Community College, in 1973, as part of the 1st graduating class, provided me a scholarship to go on with my schooling at Queens College, where I graduated with Jerry Seinfeld. By befriending major athletes like Hank Aaron, Muhammad Ali, Mickey Mantle, Bill Bradley, Joe Namath, Wayne Gretzky, Joe Frazier, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Joe Dimaggio, and Thurman Munson, it provided me with a great collection. In order to afford my addiction I had to become a dealer and start selling my doubles at an early age in order to help support my parents who were much older and to pay for my college education, clothes, food, housing and transportation etc. Then I branched out and started the first sports auction in the world, in 1986, with Phillips and branched out to start my own company called Sports Auctions of NY. Sports Auctions of NY was around from 1987-92 Before the days of the internet I was appraising, auctioning, buying ,collecting, selling and trading sports memorabilia worldwide. I sold the only known copy of Josh Gibson&#8217;s contract, and when Lou Gehrig sued a newspaper for libel because they said ALS was contagious, I sold that document. I also sold a Lou Gehrig contract and check, along with quite a few mint autographed Babe Ruth baseballs. I used to take Dusty Baker, Ralph Garr and Bruce Bochy by train from the hotel to Shea Stadium and I am still friends with Dusty. My work has been with Miami Project, Tuesdays Children, MDA, MS, Make A Wish foundation, Ronald McDonald house, Stand on your feet Foot Locker, Arod&#8217;s charity and numerous other charities. We Provide celebrities for these events, whether they are dinners, golf outings, store appearances or corporate events, including simply just having an athlete call a child for an interview etc. I have worked with ESPN/Cox communications traveling the country appraising sports collectibles including authentic game worn jerseys, bats, rings, autographs, golf balls, and books. My business is to cater to the client whether it is a 6 year old child, teaching him how to collect and what to collect, to a Fortune 500 executive on how to preserve his valuable collection and store it. My goal is to try to help everyone I meet and pay it forward. Remember the collectible you save today will make someone smile tomorrow. Collectingly and sportingly yours, Les Les Wolff Worldwide Sports and Entertainment LLC.</p>
