Rick Hip-Flores, the evening features
Jacques Brel favorites including "Carousel," "My Childhood," "If we Only have Love," "Ne Mes Quitte Pas," "The Bulls," "If we Only have Love," "Amsterdam" and "I Loved."
"Having produced the 2006/2007 revival of
Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris at
The Zipper, it is such a joy to be revisiting this material with such an exciting rotating cast of artists," says creator
Dan Whitten. "The show will have more of a ‘salon' feeling. We have many
International Artists like Micheline Van Hautem,
Karen Kohler and
Jean Brassard, so there will be more French in this Cabaret version."
