Mack is back, and as badly-behaved as ever, in this landmark musical masterpiece!  Set in a corrupt underworld of haves and have-nots, Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s epic satire of capitalist society pits the infamous gangster Macheath against Mr. Peachum, a conniving business owner whose naive daughter, Polly, has secretly married Macheath.  The once-untouchable “Mack the Knife” soon finds himself on the run, as his new in-laws and a jilted ex-lover conspire to have him arrested…and hanged! 

“The Threepenny Opera is the granddaddy of all the singing, stinging portraits of fat societies on their eves of destruction.” —  The New York Times
