"Having produced the 2006/2007 revival of
Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris at
The Zipper, it's been rewarding to revisit this material with such an exciting rotating cast of artists," says creator
Dan Whitten. "We've sold out many performances and audiences and critics have been loving the show which has more of a ‘salon' feeling because of our
International Artists Micheline Van Hautem,
Karen Kohler and
Jean Brassard. In addition, we have added duets and made the songs gender neutral, for example
Natascia Diaz sings The Bulls, traditionally sung by a man."
The casts for March includes
Robert Cuccioli,
Jean Brassard,
Natascia Diaz,
Ereni Sevasti. and Musical Director
Rick Hip-Flores.
