"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.
