Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) is thrilled to present Tony® award winning Alan Cumming (Macheath), Tony® and Grammy® award winning Jim Dale (Mr. Peachum), Grammy® and Emmy® award winning Cyndi Lauper (Jenny), Ana Gasteyer (Mrs. Peachum) and Nellie McKay as (Polly) in a new Broadway production of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's The Threepenny Opera, directed by Scott Elliott and choreographed by Aszure Barton on Broadway at Studio 54 (254 West 54th Street).

Based on Elizabeth Hauptmann's German translation of John Gay's eighteenth-century The Beggar's Opera , The Threepenny Opera thrusts the audience into the seedy underworld of Mack the Knife, a dapper criminal and his wry love affair with Polly Peachum.
