Jacques Brel Is Alive—
And Lively in Atlanta
BY BETTY MOTES
I saw Alliance Theatre
open in Atlanta with the
disaster called KING
ARTHUR. Each season since
its beginning I have faithfully
seen at least two or three of
the Alliance productions and
each time have left the
theatre disappointed.
Last Thursday night was
the opening of the Alliance
1973 season and I must admit
it was not with any great
enthusiasm that I set off for
the theatre. However, I left
feeling I had been royally

entertained. The show,
JACQUES BREL IS ALIVE
AND WELL AND LIVING
IN PARIS, is a delight. It is a
marvellous collection of the
Belgium composer’s work
with some occasional
narrative to introduce a song.
For lack of a better
definition, one could call it a
musical review.
Each song and each
interpretation is a tiny play in
itself and the majority of
them are well done. There are
even moments of real theatre
excitement. These moments
are given to us by two singers,
J.T. Cromwell and Alice
Evans. Their pure enthusiasm
carries the show.
The six-member cast
opened one short. James Ray
was ill (something unheard of
in my theatrical career) and
his numbers were taken by
Cromwell. In fact, one of the
most electrifying moments
was the last number in the
first act originally intended
for Ray. The song,
AMSTERDAM, gave me chills
and the theatre was well
heated!
Alice Evans also gave us a
couple of spine-tingling
moments. Her nervousness
was apparent, but so was her
vocal training and her obvious
feeling for the music. The
cast also includes Mandy
Beason, a native Atlantan
with a fine voice, whose
performance was quite
adequate. Susan Corbet
handles herself well on stage,
although the high notes were
a bit beyond her. Ronald
Young has a very pleasant
voice but is very stiff on
stage.
Overall my only real
criticism of the show is its
lack of choreography, which
consists of merely the
repetition of a few
elementary dance steps.
However the feeling that
came across made this a
minor point for audience
enjoyment.
The set is also impressive.
It gives the feeling of being
massive yet it encloses the
high Alliance stage and
narrows it down to a
workable size for the show.
If JACQUES BREL is an
indication of what we can
expect from Alliance this
season, we are indeed
fortunate.
And if you enjoy bright,
gay, funny, haunting and sad
music, then run, don’t walk,
to Alliance Theatre box
office. The show runs
through January 27. The
curtain for the production is
8 p.m., rather than the usual
8:30.

The car and the price
are both easy to live with.
The price we put on it means even more when you get in
it. Fully reclining bucket seats. Thick wall-to-wall nylon
carpets. Simulated woodgrain style dash, steering wheel
and gearshift knob. And that’s just for starters.
All standard? Of course.
