Damn Yankees by Lesley Alexander

The new production of "Damn Yankees" at Encores! Summer Stars at City Center, directed by John Rando, is a delightfully buoyant paean to those breezy musicals of the fifties. "Damn Yankees" tells the tale of Joe, an aging insurance salesman, hopelessly devoted to his always-in-the-basement team, the Washington Senators. In order for a shot at the pennant, Joe makes a pact with Lucifer. With a cheery score from Adler & Ross (who also gave us "The Pajama Game") the show bounces effortlessly from the locker room to the devil’s lair offering up plenty of laughs along the path to salvation. more
