What I liked

Everything about this solo show was stunning, from the costume to the dance to the song.

What I didn't like

Nothing about this performance lacked.

My overall impression

Shelley Cooper is incredible as Lotte Lenya, a performer with a traumatic past, as she pleads with Kurt Weill to allow her to perform in Threepenny Opera on opening night. Shelley tells Lenya’s story through dramatic monologues, dance, and song.
