THREEPENNY OPERA features some of the most thrilling music ever written for the stage---the arrangements for songs like "Barbara Song", "Jealousy Duet", "What Keeps a Man Alive", etc. are done with heart-stopping precision.

Vocally, this current cast is extremely strong.

Yes, vocally powerful, but the direction is a total mess.
