Cyrano de Bergerac 2007
Opening Night: November 1, 2007
Closing: January 6, 2008
Theater: Richard Rodgers
The soulful poet/philosopher and brilliant swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac, a cadet in the French Army, falls for the beautiful, strong-willed Roxane, but he is too ashamed of his large nose to tell her. Instead, when he learns that she loves the handsome but not-so-bright recruit Christian de Neuvillette, Cyrano writes poetry and love letters to Roxane on Christian’s behalf. After many years, the truth is revealed. Will love or beauty win the fair heroine’s heart?
