It has been announced that Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris will open at the Charing Cross Theatre for a strictly limited six-week run next month.
Andrew Keates will direct Daniel Boys (Avenue Q/Spamalot), David Burt (The Merchant of Venice/ The Beggars People), Eve Polycarpou (In The Heights/Mother Courage) and Gina Beck (Wicked/ Phantom of the Opera).
Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris is a musical revue of the greatest works by one of the most prolific Belgian singer-songwriters of all time. This production uses the definitive English translations of Brel’s works by Mort Shurman and Eric Blau accompanied by the orchestral arrangements by Eric Svejcar from the 2006 Off-Broadway production (Zipper Theater, New York City).
Often haunting, sometimes funny, heart-wrenching and vividly poetic, the songs of Jacques Brel explore the human condition through honest storytelling, with themes of joy and sorrow, love and loss, war and peace and life and death.
The show opens on Saturday 18th October (previews from 16th October) and runs until Saturday 22nd November 2014.
