He had a role as a piano player in this musical. After he joined the American Communist Party in the 1930s, he wrote political articles for left-wing periodicals. He had a role in the 1941 "No for an Answer," but this production was also closed for political reasons.

His adaption of "The Threepenny Opera" was performed on Broadway starting in 1954 for seven years and contained his only hit song "Mack the Knife." Singer Bobby Darin recorded "Mack the Knife" in 1959, becoming a #1 Billboard hit for nine non-consecutive weeks.
