Chanteuse Cou-Cou Bijoux, one of the stars of last winter’s Magnetic Cabaret at the Bubble Lounge, brings her two-act Dixon Place hit, POUR VOUS to Brooklyn for a one-night stand June 30, directed by Luke Harlan, with musical direction by Brooks “Babyface” Hartell and ultra-fabulous couture by David Quinn. We caught the show at Dixon Place and can testify that Cou-Cou is a bawdy, touching, bewitching creation. Audiences find themselves quickly spellbound by her vampy torch songs and stories of loss, loss, and very French amour — with more than a bit of l’amour fou in the mix. Written and performed by Cou-Cou alter ego Raquel Cion and with original songs by Dan Kilian, POUR VOUS is, as Cou-Cou says, “aIl pour vous!”
