Cabaret noir comes to the James Cabaret as Kiwi rock stars Jon Toogood and Julia Deans join singers Jennifer Ward-Lealand and Tama Waipara to interpret Jacques Brel’s infamous songbook.
A major influence on modern music, Brel’s dark, sardonic and witty songs have been covered by legends like Leonard Cohen, David Bowie and Nina Simone. Directed by Michael Hurst and featuring a stellar band led by Leon Radojkovic, Brel will move you with its raw emotion and musical power.
Price includes a complimentary glass of Stoneleigh wine.
“RAW, FUNNY, PASSIONATE AND ENTERTAINING”
National Business Review
“Brel is unexpected. It's a show you don't envisage, with material you want to learn more about when it's all over. But most of all it is a show with performances make you feel, all without a scripted word.”
