Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris at Odyssey Theatre

A powerful and bold theatrical experience that was an overwhelming success off-Broadway, this revue of Belgian singer-songwriter Jacques Brel’s songs pays tribute to his unique genius. Naughty, funny, dark and romantic, Brel’s songs brim with flair, attitude and European sophistication, retaining their edgy vibe over half a century after they were written. While Brel is no longer either alive or living in Paris, his legendary vision of romance, humor and moral conviction endures. July 1 through Aug. 27; Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd., West Los Angeles, 90025; Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm with three additional weeknight performances on Thursday, July 13; Wednesday, July 19; and Thursday, July 27; all at 8 p.m.. For reservations and information, call (310) 477-2055 or go to OdysseyTheatre.com.
