JACQUES BREL

IS ALIVE AND WELL

AND LIVING IN PARIS

background and analysis by Scott Miller

More than any other piece written for the musical stage, Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris utterly defies description. It is an evening of independent songs, yet it is more than a revue. It doesn't have a plot or an immediately recognizable cast of characters, so it's not really a book musical. It has been called the world's first libretto-less musical. In reality, it is a one-man musical with a cast of four. Two women and two men portray one character: the real life folk singer-poet, Jacques Brel. The words are Brel's, the opinions, insights, and razor wit is Brel's. The underlying, sometimes nearly hidden optimism is Brel's. In a sense, the show is more a character study than anything else, but is it a character study of Jacques Brel the man or of western civilization at the end of the twentieth century? Eric Blau, one of the creators of the show, said that Brel writes about the way we live in a world we did not create.
