The production, which has been playing at The Triad (158 West 72nd Street) for over a year and performs a few times each month, is an intimate and engaging evening of classic Jacques Brel songs and features a rotating cast of Broadway performers as well as occasional surprise guest performers.
JACQUES BREL RETURNS is presented by Dan Whitten, Mark Beigelman, Peter Martin and Tiger Theatricals. Originally created by Dan Whitten (who also produced the hit revival and CD of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris in 2006/2007) and Mark Beigelman, the show features Jacques Brel favorites including "Carousel," "My Childhood," "If We Only Have Love," "Ne Mes Quitte Pas," "The Bulls," "Amsterdam" and "I Loved."
"Brel's music is timeless and we are thrilled to get to keep it alive at The Triad” says producer Dan Whitten. “We will also be touring the show starting in the spring with Cleveland, where Brel saved the Playhouse Square Theatre back in the early 70's."
