(performances start on Wednesday) Vernon Duke, John Latouche and Lynn Root's 1940 musical, originally directed by George Balanchine, gets a second chance courtesy of New York City Center's Encores! series. Michael Potts plays a gambler trying to make his way to heaven with the help of Norm Lewis's angel and LaChanze's helpmeet. But Chuck Cooper's Lucifer has other ideas. Ruben Santiago-Hudson directs the celestial script.
