"Jacques Brel RETURNS... The Music of Brel, Blau, Shumann and Jouannest en Cabaret" is extending its successful run at The Triad NYC, 158 W. 72nd Street with performances on Wednesday, March 16th at 8pm, Wednesday, March 23rd at 8pm and Wednesday, March 30th at 8pm. Presented by Dan Whitten, Mark Beigelman, Peter Martin and Tiger Theatricals, Jacques Brel RETURNS is a new "en cabaret" production featuring highlights from "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris" as well as new material.
The rotating cast includes performers from the celebrated 2006/2007 production at The Zipper Theater including Tony-award winning nominee Robert Cuccioli (Jekyll & Hyde), Natascia Diaz
(The Capeman at The Delacorte Theatre, Man of La Mancha), Tamra Hayden (Cabaret, Les Miz), Rodney Hicks (Rent, The Scottsboro Boys), Jim Stanek (Little Women, Le Stat) as well as theatre and cabaret veterans Jean Brassard (The Kid from Paris- The Songs of Yves Montand), Karen Kohler (Kabarett Fete), Micheline Van Hautem (La Musique), Sue Mathys and more.
Created by Dan Whitten and Mark Beigelman, who produced the hit revival and CD in 2006/2007, and featuring musical direction by Rick Hip-Flores, the evening features Jacques Brel favorites including "Carousel", "My Childhood", "If We Only Have Love", "Ne Mes Quitte Pas", "The Bulls", "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 has more of a ‘salon' feeling. We have many international artists like Karen Kohler and Jean Brassard, so there is more French in this cabaret version. In addition we have created new duets and songs traditionally performed by women that are now sometimes performed by men and vice versa."
Jacques Brel RETURNS... The Music of Brel, Blau, Shumann and Jouannest en Cabaret plays Wednesday March 16th, Wednesday March 23rd and Wednesday March 30th at The Triad, 158 West 72nd Street. All performances are 8PM. Tickets are $20-30. (Two drink minimum at all performances, cash only.)
