The Cellar Production of Kurt Weill's Threepenny Opera
 
I was listening to the Threepenny Opera today and thought Pirate Jenny's song could very well be Infi's theme song, then I got to thinking about casting the whole production with other dwellars.

watchya got?

Ha! Love it.

I'll take Jenny.
Just because she gets to sing the Tango Ballad. First time I heard Sally's Song in The Nightmare Before Christmas I knew it had to be a tribute. Although I've never heard that acknowledged.
I'd rather be Sally of course.

So you can just stick me in the chorus of whores and beggars, I guess :)

I saw Sting as Mac the Knife in a 1989 or 1990 performance of this play at the National Theater. It was a good show.

Ooh I've heard of Mac the knife. Not sure why, no idea who owns it. My knife is called Steve.

Infi, you're cast as Polly.
She merely sings the song Pirate Jenny.

Jenny (aka Low-Life Jenny) is another character altogether unconnected to the song Polly sings. That saying, Monster can have the part if she wishes.

HA! Well what do I know, I ask? Nothing!

:blush:

I'm so confused. Apparently this is a musical I've missed.

Ballad of Sexual Dependency Sounds interesting, and I am a mezzo soprano. Mrs. Peachem for me, I think.
