Threepenny Opera - a treat

Had never seen this show.  As I understand it, Kurt Weill is pretty dark and this show is no exception.

This is a very good production with a great cast.  A treat to see TV characters, Mary Beth Peil and F. Murray Abramson in singing roles. 

Cast is excellent and this small production is very well done.

Interestingly, I read on Wikipedia that Mac the Knife was not part of the original musical.  It was added when an actor playing Mac insisted that his character be introduced in the show.

Very enjoyable and a production that should be seen.
