This exotic musical saga of the villainous but irresistible Mack the Knife and his marauding band of thieves is a revolutionary musical theatre piece, inspiring such hits as Cabaret, Chicago, and Urinetown.
An opera in name only, composer Kurt Weill created the sound of 1920's Berlin dance bands and playwright Bertolt Brecht created its book that, 82 years after its premiere, remains an outrageous and cunning satire of society. The Threepenny Opera combines traditional opera and operetta to create a new king of musical theatre.
