Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris

Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris transforms Brel’s astonishing musical compositions into a theatrical experience that has delighted audiences for nearly four decades. The original show opened in 1968 at The Village Gate in Greenwich Village and ran for more than four years. With a cast of four actors and four musicians, the show celebrates Brel’s timeless relevance and enduring passions.

Translated from the French by American poet Eric Blau and lyricist Mort Shuman, the show is a diverse blend of ballads, tangos, boleros, rock and classics.
