      <![CDATA[I just happened upon this blog for the first time and I can put some of your worries at ease. I served as the production stage manager for the show (calling a 400 cue, 3hr 20min evening of theatre is a rewarding challenge), and I can attest to the fact that any alterations/change (the moving of "The Ballad of Mack the Knife") made to the show were approved by the Kurt Weill Foundation and other parties involved.

      <![CDATA[@GW Carver: That line isn't in the original "Ballad of Mack the Knife," but was added in the Bobby Darin arrangement, which is an uptempo swinger by comparison. Lotte Lenya was also married to Kurt Weill, the song's composer.

      <![CDATA[Trivia:<br>
<br>
The "Lotte Lenya" mentioned in the song "Mack The Knife" was a real person. She played Jenny in the first performance of "The Threepenny Opera" in Berlin in 1928, and went on to play Colonel Rosa Klebb in the James Bond movie "From Russia With Love".

      <![CDATA[Just a quick addition, since, in my haste I sounded awfully contrary. <br>
<br>
Huff typed: "Now, if the University of Memphis could see clear to give theatre students academic credit for doing such productions—in tandem with the research and intellectual exploration necessary to understand with more complexity what it is that they are doing besides honing their craft (which they already do very well)—and to foster interdisciplinary conversations within the university through such productions, we’d be in even better stead."<br>
<br>
Couldn't agree more.

      <![CDATA[Stephen, I agree with you RE Brecht/Hauptmann, less so about this not being the Brecht we think of as Brecht. It's pretty clearly the turning point, and a cornerstone of Epic theater.

      <![CDATA[After reading this review and hearing the initial misgivings of a few of my Introduction to Theatre students who had seen the show during its first weekend, I must admit that I was not looking forward to attending. Maybe it was the anticipation of drudgery that influenced my reaction, but I found myself in many moments (as several of my other students did)—despite the sometimes tedious length of the production—pleasantly surprised and, at turns, laughing out loud or otherwise fully engaged.
