Page "The Threepenny Opera" Paragraph 13

* A 1989 Broadway production, billed as 3 Penny Opera, translated by Michael Feingold starred Sting as Macheath.

Its cast also featured Georgia Brown as Mrs Peachum, Maureen McGovern as Polly, Kim Criswell as Lucy, KT Sullivan as Suky Tawdry and Ethyl Eichelberger as the Street Singer.

Sting famously grew a thin moustache for the role, and when it closed after 65 performances he shaved it off onstage with a straight razor.
