in fact and marc blitzstein off broadway adaptation of threepenny be not so bowdlerised a be generally believe . ( i have a special interest in threepenny while my dad be part of the first full production in the u while u of illlinois theatre guild do it around the end of ww2 . hjitler have be so nearly successful in suppress the play that they have to reconstruct the script and score from recording in two different language { neither english } and a german prompter script and similar source . ) blitzstein adaptation not a translation which have the full approval of lotte lenya be a lot close to the original than generally believe . the problem be that the version thereof that most people know be the mgm cast recording ( recently available on polygram on cd ) ( which include beatrice arthur { a lucy and the big complete girl and and can not i see her hand on hip and shoulder throw back on that line bea be a major babe in the 50 } and paul dooley and john astin ) be heavily censor by mike curb and head of mgm record i mean and 17 ( i think it be ) goddamns get cut to just damn . ( at one time and mgm also offer a 2 lp set of the entire play and doubtless a heavily censor . ) .
