08/09 Season

While Jacques Brel is no longer alive or well or living in Paris, his legendary romance, humor and moral conviction endure. Four actors celebrate the musical poetry of French composer Jacques Brel, including a diverse blend of ballads, tangos, boleros, rock, and classics. Each song tells a story, examining themes of love, war, adventure, broken dreams, being young, growing old and death…but never forgetting that life, with all its tragedies and complexities, shows us much humor. A powerful and bold theatrical experience that has enthralled audiences since it first opened off-Broadway in 1968.
