The revue of Brel's often-poetic songs will fill the final slot in the Marin's 2007-2008 season, playing May 22-June 15, 2008. An extension to August is possible.

Gordon Greenberg, who directed the Off-Broadway production of Brel, will repeat his work for San Francisco audiences. Casting has yet to be announced.

In a statement, producer Whitten said, "I am thrilled that we have found a home for the first production of Brel following its successful New York run. I know that there are many fans of Jacques Brel's music living in the Bay Area, so I am really pleased to be able to share Brel with them."

Whitten is also in discussion with South Florida's New Vista Theatre Company for a production of Brel. Also under consideration are productions in Boston, Atlanta, Tel Aviv, Chicago, Montreal, London and South Korea.
