ACT and 5th Avenue TheatreJacques Brel Is Alive and Well and

Living in Paris—With ParkingIn 1968, a musical revue of

songs by a little-known Belgian singer-songwriter opened off-Broadway and astounded the audiences who came to see it.

It ran for four years and went on to be performed around the world. Packed with wit, intelligence, and raw human emotion, Brel’s songs are stories of love and loss, hope and despair, humor and pathos. The emotional power of these songs has inspired everyone from David Bowie and Neil Diamond to Celine Dion and Nirvana to cover his work. Brel’ poignant, passionate, and profound songs are brought to vivid theatrical life in this intense musical experience.Date: Tuesday, April 14 Time: 7:30 p.m. Cost: $62Note: Based on availability, tickets for this show are exchangeable for any day of the run.

Spectrum Dance TheaterCarmina Burana

This new work by Spectrum Dance Theater reimagines Carl Orff’s popular

scenic cantata as a journey from doubt and disillusionment to a restoration of faith in the essential goodness of man.

Tony Award–nominated choreographer Donald Byrd’s first encounter with Orff’s score led to a large-scale danced drama for

New York City Opera in 1997.In stark contrast, this new staging is a minimalist rumination

on the fact that the authors of the music’s text were, more than likely, defrocked monks.Date: Saturday, April 25 Time: 8:00 p.m. Cost: $36.50Deadline: Monday, April 6Location: Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Ave., SeattleEvent Coordinator: Eric Hamada, 425-965-9335, eric.e.hamada@boeing.comInstructions: Send a check payable to BMA and a self-addressed, stamped business envelope to Eric Hamada, MC 90-18, c/o The Boeing Company, P.O.

Ira Glass: Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host

This American Life host Ira Glass worked with Monica Bill Barnes &

Company to invent a show combining two art forms that, as Glass puts it, “have no business being together”: dance and radio. One is all words and no visuals; the other is all visuals and no words.

The result is a funny, lively evening of dance and stories that brought down the house in its first test run at Carnegie Hall. “What makes it work,” says Glass, “is a shared sensibility. As dancers, Monica and Anna are amazingly relatable and funny storytellers without words.”Date: Saturday, April 11 Time: 8:00 p.m. Cost: $60.75Deadline: Wednesday, March 25Location: Paramount Theatre, 911 Pine St., SeattleEvent Coordinator: Eric Hamada, 425-965-9335, eric.e.hamada@boeing.comInstructions: Send a check payable to BMA and a self-addressed, stamped business envelope to Eric Hamada, MC 90-18, c/o The Boeing Company, P.O.
