Cyrano

This recent adaptation of the classic play by Michael Hollinger and Aaron Posner of the classic tale not only provides a most-welcome dose of humor while changing up the opening scenes, it also does a nose job that trims and reshapes the original. However, the basic storyline stays the same—the swashbuckling hero Cyrano’s unrequited love of Roxane lyrically expressed through a younger, handsomer suitor. Though not a musical, this memorable production sings throughout—from the gifted cast to the spot-on staging, mingling the talents of seasoned professionals with budding Folsom Lake theater students.
