Kurt Weill, Bertolt Brecht & Elisabeth Hauptmann's "Happy End" plays Merkin Hall (Kaufman Music Center), a 450-capacity small room in Lincoln Center, on Thursday, November 12. The show starts at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $50 plus fees.
Religion and capitalism collide in this sharp, jazz-infused 1929 musical satire by Kurt Weill, Bertolt Brecht and Elisabeth Hauptmann. Conceived as a follow-up to the trios success with The Threepenny Opera, Happy End is a satire of big business and big religion set in a smoky speakeasy where gangsters do deals, and the Salvation Army saves souls. With an unforgettable score that includes Bilbao Song, Mandalay Song and Surabaya Johnny, Happy End blazes with wit, grit and dark glamour.
