The Alliance Theatre ends its milestone 40th season by returning to the elegant and moving sounds of Jacques Brel, presented under the warm glow of candlelight in the style of a Parisian cabaret. Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, one of the most enduring musical revues of all time, is being re-staged on a radically reconfigured Alliance Stage. The addition of two-person tables and four-person, semi-circular booths (banquettes) right on the expanded stage promises a night of shared emotion and romance. Alliance Artistic Director Susan V. Booth will direct the hit musical production where guests can sit back and sip wine in a unique environment styled after a hot French nightspot. Media night is Wednesday, Apr. 22, 2009 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the Woodruff Arts Center Box Office by calling 404.733.5000 or online at www.alliancetheatre.org.

To write that Allison Fischer stops the show in the middle of Lestat's second act might falsely give the impression that the authors had actually provided a show up until that point

To accommodate these revisions, LESTAT will now begin previews at the Palace Theatre (1564 Broadway at 47th Street) on Saturday, March 25, 2006, and open on Tuesday, April 25, 2006.
