  • Johnny Johnson ist ein Musiktheaterstück in drei Akten von Kurt Weill (Musik) und Paul Green (Text). Die Handlung spielt im Ersten Weltkrieg und lehnt sich an Jaroslav Hašeks satirischen Antikriegsroman Der brave Soldat Schwejk an. Im Zentrum steht Johnny Johnson, ein naiver junger Steinmetz, der seinem Pazifismus zum Trotz in den Krieg zieht und so nicht nur seine große Liebe Minnie Belle verliert, sondern nach einem spektakulären Versuch, den Krieg zu beenden, als gebrochener Mann in der Psychiatrie landet. Weills Musik ist eine Mischung aus den verschiedensten musikalischen Stilen; formal orientiert sich Johnny Johnson am amerikanischen Broadway-Musical, jedoch sind auch viele kontinentaleuropäische Einflüsse erkennbar.
