Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris

...well, at least "alive", but not for long - this revival is about to close. As for "well" ...well, not really. The group numbers really soar, as does Gay Marshall in her solo songs. Former American Idol, Constantine Maroulis is charming if a bit mannered. But the real problem is the tone of the evening...cheap laughs, sentimentality, song and dance...it's all there, but jarringly so from song to song. Maybe audiences today expect more than they did in 1968, they certainly pay more.
