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?

Well, let's see. Who around here has mad knife skilz?

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 :)

Can I be the shark - whore?

I'm [strike]Spartacus[/strike] Jenny!

ahem. the director already cast me.

Y'all can be my understudies.

Shush, we're trying to protect you........ and -smooches and all- I don't really want to study your under -'sprobably full of [strike]homos[/strike] hobos.

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.

This is Mac, the shark knife.

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.

You keep it. I'm not into second hand parts :vomitblu: (unless they are of hobo origin).

and that's a phrickin' dolfin knife

I've really only ever wanted to be Laura in The Glass Menagerie.

Somehow, not being an actor, I think that is one part I could pull off.

But maybe I am an actor and just don't know it yet.

As I said, I'm holding out for Sally in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Although the score will have to be completely transposed. I'm an alto.

I burned out early anyway - I got my ideal part at the age of 13 - Blousey Brown in Bugsy Malone (The Henry Floyd production - you probably read about it).

I don't know what my musical theme would be.
Wouldn't It Be Luvverly maybe? The anthem of dreamers everywhere.
Infi gets Brecht but I pretend to be Hepburn :) She had a singing double of course. I'll croak my own way through it but have a face and body double.

I'm closer to Mrs Lovett I guess, but given the amount of cakes I make I can hardly have The Worst Pies in London as my theme!

Oh! Oh! If we're casting Nightmare Before Christmas, can I be Jack? I know all the words and it's right in my range.

I heard that Andrew Lloyd Webber even says that My Fair Lady was the best musical of all time.

And Audrey. Yeah, who doesn't love her?

I can only do non-singing parts though. My voice would make the audience croak.

I'd be really good in A Nightmare on Elm Street.

:lol:

You can be Bottom.

Thank you for sorting her out. She's probably memorized all the wrong lines...

That is an express train to fingerlessness. (note I did not say shortcut as that is another Stanley product)

'cause, if baby you're the bottom, I'm the top! [/again with the musical drifiting?]

I'm not into musical theatre. I'm not gay enough to do it as a gay man, but not straight enough to do it without people assuming I am gay. Awkward misunderstandings are inevitable. :)


But that dolphin knife is AWESOME. WANT.
