"The classic musical by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill returns to Broadway with an all-star cast.

Alan Cumming Tony Award winner Alan Cumming (right) is back at Studio 54, where he triumphed as the Emcee in Cabaret, to play Mack the Knife in one of the greatest hits to every shake up the world of musical theater. Joining the dream cast is Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award winner Edie Falco (The Sopranos, 'night, Mother) and rising recording artist Nellie McKay. Scott Elliott, who recently helmed the off-Broadway hit Hurlyburly and this season's Barefoot in the Park, directs.

Welcome to the underworld of foggy London town. Here the cops are corrupt, pickpockets and prostitutes rule and Mack the Knife presides as the dapper prince of thieves. Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's mesmerizing homage to the seedy side of life returns to Broadway with a spectacular cast and a provacative new translation by Wallace Shawn (Aunt Dan and Lemon).

Take a walk on the dark side this spring at Studio 54!

I dunno how I missed this post, except that on March 17th I was pushing my way through hordes of drunken people wearing green, making my way to rehearsal for this on 45th Street!

My part is pretty small, but I am part of the chorus and do get to sing a bit in the finale-- which is what the "Opera" on the title is all about. I also have a rather hammy bit as one of Mr. Peachum's (played by the incredible Jim Dale) beggars which should please those familiar with my antics on the Jackie stage.

Here's a bit of fluff from the Observer:

BTW, at this party, I suddenly realized that the "Lite FM" DJ, Valerie Smaldone and I went to high school together, much to my horror.

little bit of insider info... edie falco was originally supposed to play the role that cyndi lauper now performs... it was due to the soprano's filming schedule etc... i think cyndi was a better choice for the role, and from what i have heard so far, (from 8 of my b-way queen friends)... the show is great... (some will be going yet again to the show)... i think i'll be there next week hattie Smile

I hope this show runs forever. Or at least until all the awards organizations are depleted by Cyndi Lauper. I want to see Hatches retire to Fire Island or at least Sutton Place. And thanks for the Holland Tunnel tip, the only drawback is the tire marks over my Nikes and the two cops at the mouth of the tunnel asking for 'favors'.
