Naughty, funny, dark, and romantic…this is a spectacular, twisty, and intoxicating revue of the work of singer-songwriter Jacques Brel. Over half a century after they were written, Brel’s songs retain their edgy vibe in a show The New York Times calls “a potent mixture of romanticism and cynicism, world-weariness and jaunty whimsy.” If you've seen it before, you've never seen it like this. If you've never seen it, it's about time! (Photo above: the beautiful Rechnitz Theater!)
