Joseph Berardi leads a musically responsible performance, with something fairly close to Weill's original jazz band scoring (plus the inevitable electronic perversions). Weba Garretson is an okay Salvation Army Lillian, although she broke no hearts with her painfully uninvolved "Surabaya Johnny"; Dan Gerrity's Bill Cracker, as the fearsome thug tamed by music's power, rang out loud and clear. The production at MOCA is not quite a disaster; enough remains to suggest the original outlines. And enough also remains to revive the age-old truth, that less can often add up to more.
