Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and
Living in Paris—With Parking
I
n 1968, a musical revue of
songs by a little-known Belgian
singer-songwriter opened offBroadway and astounded the
audiences who came to see it.
It ran for four years and went on to be performed around the
world. Packed with wit, intelligence, and raw human emotion,
Brel’s songs are stories of love and loss, hope and despair, humor
and pathos. The emotional power of these songs has inspired
everyone from David Bowie and Neil Diamond to Celine Dion
and Nirvana to cover his work. Brel’ poignant, passionate, and
profound songs are brought to vivid theatrical life in this intense
musical experience.

asper in Deadland is
a high-octane new
musical with a book by
superstar Ryan Scott

Broadway…a major new voice in musical theatre” by Entertainment

An electrifying new pop/rock musical in the spirit of Rent

Agnes, he learns to let go of the demons of daily life and embrace
the music within.
With a pulsating contemporary score and vibrant roots in
ancient Greek, Egyptian, Roman, and Norse legends and fables,
this spine-tingling, hair-raising, heart-stirring show explores what
it means to be truly alive.

Ira Glass: Three Acts, Two Dancers,

Carmina Burana
T
his new work by Spectrum Dance
Theater reimagines Carl Orff’s popular
scenic cantata as a journey from doubt and
disillusionment to a restoration of faith in
the essential goodness of man.
Tony Award–nominated choreographer
Donald Byrd’s first encounter with Orff’s
score led to a large-scale danced drama for
New York City Opera in 1997.
In stark contrast, this new staging is a minimalist rumination
on the fact that the authors of the music’s text were, more than
likely, defrocked monks.

his American Life host Ira Glass
worked with Monica Bill Barnes &
Company to invent a show combining
two art forms that, as Glass puts it, “have
no business being together”: dance and
radio. One is all words and no visuals;
the other is all visuals and no words.
The result is a funny, lively evening of dance and stories that
brought down the house in its first test run at Carnegie Hall. “What
makes it work,” says Glass, “is a shared sensibility. As dancers,
Monica and Anna are amazingly relatable and funny storytellers
without words.”
