Merry New Year! It’s time to welcome in 2012 with a theatrical performance. I hope you were able to catch Prospect Theater’s musical Jacques Brel is Alive and Living in Paris! It was simply mesmerizing! The staging, the performers, the musicians and the songs were captivating. Sure do miss having a critic in the Bee, don’t you?
