ThreePenny Opera



I'm not much of a Broadway fan, and there are only a handful of Broadway show I wish I could've seen over the past ten years, but the one I most wish I could have seen was the 2006 revival of The Threepenny Opera with Alan Cummings and Cindy Lauper.


Unfortunately even a Tony nomination couldn't encourage the theater goers to put aside their prejudices and trepidations and the run ended after four months. Although some even worse flops that season recorded a cast album unfortunately none was recorded and all that's left of the Revival are a performance at the Tony's and a few shoddy clips on youtube.

Perhaps the Playgoer's review will shed some light on the production for those who are interested.

Ps. I just found a wonderful overview by NPR here.
