As I recall, in an interview Blair Brown noted that she played Lucy, Jenny and Polly in Threepenny Opera during its Lincoln Center run.

That is not all four principal female roles but it is close.

Was she covering the parts or did it have a long run? Btw, I love BB. Saw her in The Dead, Copenhagen and Cabaret over the course of one year. Fantastic actress and a very nice lady.

I assume that when you say "cover" you mean understudy. I doubt that was the case since she was a name and opened the production in a major role as Lucy. Nor could she have had a long run in any role since the production only ran a year at the Beaumont and briefly at the Delacorte.

IBDB does list Brown as a replacement Polly, but not Jenny. The list is definitely incomplete though since it omits Philip Bosco as a replacement Macheath.
