Jacques Brel IS ALIVE AND WELL IN PARIS is set to open on February 2nd at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. The show is a musical revue based on Jacques Brel's lyrics and commentary, with music by Jacques Brel.

The show, directed by Kiley Donovan, with musical direction by Geraldine Boles and choreography by Pam Wills, runs from February 2nd through the 19th.

The poignant, passionate and profound songs of Belgian songwriter Jacques Brel are brought to vivid theatrical life in this intense musical experience. Brel's legendary romance, humor and moral conviction are evoked simply and directly, with six actors and four musicians. The result is a powerful, intimate, bold and emotional evening of theatre. Brimming with flair, attitude and European sophistication, these rich compositions bring to mind the groundbreaking work of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, creating a universe all their own that consistently startles with its daring, candor and insight. The sheer musical poetry of each song supports many layers of interpretation, giving the show a new and unexpected meaning with every new cast and production team that takes it on.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8pm; Sunday matinee at 4pm
