Cyrano Tickets

First things first--this version cuts a lot of fan-favorite moments from the familiar Rostand play. Many are easily understood as bit of plot expediency. But there are other bits that you might miss, especially if you're a purist. If you really want to see Peter Dinklage deliver *this* favorite speech or his take on *that* favorite scene--you might be disappointed, 'cuz it's very possible that those favorite moments were cut. There are songs, all well-performed. Lyric-wise, they're OK at best, but the music throughout (in the actors' songs and otherwise) is exquisite: sonorous in tone and lending an exquisite melancholy to the whole piece. The choreography--meaning the images that characters form on stage; this is no dance revue--and the scenic design is really quite beautiful. This Cyrano production leans into the pervading tragedy at the heart of its story and dispenses with much of the flamboyant panache that other versions incorporate. The result is a Cyrano that's nothing somber and elegiac. That may not be the Cyrano you think you need, but it's a thought-provoking one you're not going to forget.

What a great intimate theatre for such a unique take on Cyrano!! The choreography was unique and Peter and Jazmin were catptivating!

We had high hopes for Cyrano. We have seen Peter Dinklage in other excellent productions. Too bad, he tied himself to this play. There was no way he could carry the show with such a poor Roxanne. She basically ruined the musical with her high school performance. Kudos to all the other actors for fine performances around her.

Book does not support the story....it does not shed any new light ... onsequently it is predictable in the first act and descends into chaos in act two.

I went to the Daryl Roth Theater and saw Cyrano. There occurred a marriage of words and passion. Among the guests Don Quixote danced with Dulcinea. I was so moved that I was speechless. I simply sighed Bravissimo!

The play was very good.....my only issue was the very uncomfortable seating.

While the staging, choreography and performances are great, the music left me flat. Nothing memorable, and quite repetitive. An interesting chord progression repeated over and over does NOT a song make. Oh, and the sound design was patchy- overbearingly loud microphones at times. Kudos to the cast, director and choreographer, though. And there were some wonderful moments in the script.

Loved the intimacy of the theater; staging and storyline were wonderful. Excellent cast and loved Peter Dinklage In commanding and emotional role.

I loved the show but the seating was cramped. Loved that i got to see Peter Dinklage perform live

Was so glad to see this play. The story flowed, the voices were great. Many unique features. Great acting as one would expect form Peter Dinklage but the others were equally great! One or two reviews were less than stellar. I have no idea what they were watching....

Notwithstanding the inexplicable comments of some reviewers this was an outstanding production. Peter Dinklage was superb as were the rest of the cast - this was the strongest set of ensemble playing I have seen in years. The staging and choreography were extremely imaginative and on first hearing the score contained a couple of songs with the potential to become standards. Theatre at its best.

Amazing production! I was mesmerized by the performances. Beautiful voices, great emotion and humor. The slow motion choreography, the music and lyrics were all just wonderful. Brilliant concept accomplished brilliantly. A must see.

Marvelous play. All the actors were fantastic. Enjoyed the music.

How do you take a literate and romantic play that is all about poetry and panache and turn it into a mundane mess? The music is without passion or finesse and the dialogue has been reduced to an embarrassment. The costumes evoke no time period and the acting of the other characters is uninspired to say the least. Recast and rework

My sister and I attended this play in late October. It has many fine aspects which we appreciated. The staging was inspired and gorgeous, the music fit the melancholy nature of this classic story. As expected, Peter Dinklage was excellent - fully inhabiting this character's emotional depth and wit. I thought the rest of the cast was up to his level except for one: Jasmine Cephas Jones. While she has an amazing voice, her Roxanne lacked depth. Her feelings were superficial and thus, neither my sister nor I experienced the heartbreak that is characteristic of this story. During the conclusion of the play, I felt that Ms. Jones was a student in an acting class. This was unfortunate for this play, which had so many positive things going for it!

Amazing cast and who knows Peter can sing, really well in fact! His skills as an actor glow in the dimly lit musical productions of this Cyrano revival. To be frank, I did not realized I was going to a musical as I expected to be attending a play. The mesmerizing cast keep you transfixed. Though the pace moved well the musical is too long a piece. Entertaining but can edit out 40 minutes of the total time and it would keep the thrilling beats. All and all worth your attention albeit a bit too long for my personal liking.

The most talented vocalists/actors could not move this music forward to propel the story. Mr. Dinklage is an infinitely heart wrenching actor with a beautiful speaking voice that he expands to the best of his ability to the music. He is surrounded by powerhouse vocalists who carry the more difficult musical numbers. It is the music itself that was the problem for me. It did not always work to tell the story, and it was monotonous. The choreography and staging of the battle scene was powerful, but there is too little choreography and interesting or relevant movement in most of the musical numbers. This is a great cast and could be a great show with some revisions.

The music, the performers, the theater ... amazing. The cast took the incredible music and lyrics of The National to an entirely new level.

Expected more, better, especially for the cost of the ticket.

I came to the theater expecting Peter Dinklage to be perfect in the title role, but I wasn't expecting it to be a musical! Dinklage's acting did not disappoint and the emotional currents of this strange story came through, but the range of his singing voice, a deep basso character voice, was minute and his voice did not have the variety of expression of a Tom Waits, say. The style of the songs was folk-emo, with an emphasis on guitar and strings. It was pretty, but to me, the lyrics were vague, and one battle song about "Southern Pride," struck me as actually confusing, since the battle was supposed to be occurring in 17th century France. But what do I know? I'm in my 60s, and younger generations may appreciate the atmospherics better than I did. The theater staff were friendly.
