Robert Cuccioli, Natascia Diaz, and Gay Marshall will star in the revival of Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, which will begin performances at the Zipper Theater on March 5. The show, to be directed by Gordon Greenberg, will open on March 27. A fourth cast member will be announced shortly.

The show, which was first seen in New York in 1968, offers up a diverse selection of Brel’s songs (which have been translated from the French by Eric Blau and Mort Shuman). Among his more celebrated compositions are “Carousel,” “If We Only Have Love,” and “Amsterdam.”

Cuccioli received a Tony Award nomination for Jekyll & Hyde and starred Off-Broadway in And the World Goes Round. Diaz’s Broadway credits include Man of La Mancha, Seussical, and The Capeman.
Marshall was recently seen in the Paper Mill Playhouse production of The Baker’s Wife, which was directed by Greenberg.
