Brecht & Weill's The Threepenny Opera follows the travails of the notorious criminal, Macheath, as he navigates a world of beggars, thieves, and prostitutes in Victorian London. With music deeply rooted in jazz and Viennese operetta, Weill's provocative setting of Brecht's gritty drama has enchanted audiences for the last century. The AllWays Lounge & Cripple Creek pair some of New Orleans most talented musicians, Walter McClements (Why are We Building Such a Big Ship, Panorama Jazz Band) Aurora Nealand (Panorama Jazz Band,) with an all-star cast to create an unforgettable evening of music and theatre. The popular Bywater musician, Ratty Scurvics, makes his theatrical debut as London’s most notorious criminal, Mac the Knife. He is joined by seasoned performers, Becky Allen and Chris Wecklein, as Mr. and Mrs. Peachum, presenting such memorable numbers as "The Ballad of Mack the Knife" and "Pirate Jenny." This new production, directed by Dennis Monn (founder New Orleans Fringe Festival, Executive Director AllWays Lounge & Theatre) and Musical Director, Harry Mayronne, is sure to leave its mark with the regional premiere of this modern translation by Jeremy Sams of London’s famed Donmar Warehouse.
