To cite the play 'Cyrano de Bergerac' as one of the well-loved romantic comedies by theatrical companies is an understatement. Since its premiere in France in 1897, 'Cyrano,' written in five acts by then 29-year-old poet Edmond Rostand, has become a classic--staged countless times in many countries. Thanks to its offerings aplenty: a brave and romantic hero, a beautiful love interest, some spectacular sword fights, and an imminent war, interwoven with a tale of love and heartbreak.

BWW Review: THE FANTASTICKS at Orlando Shakes
by Joseph Harrison
- Feb 7, 2022
It’s hard to imagine a musical theatre world without the iconic, simple but lovely, musical THE FANTASTICKS. Opening at the Sullivan Street Playhouse in 1960 and playing a record breaking 42 years (making it the “world’s longest running musical”), Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt’s “little musical that could” has touched hearts and audiences for the last 62 years. It has evolved and changed over that time (more on that in a minute) but has never lost its core appeal – a beautiful, poetic, and highly theatrical tale of the power and depth of love – gained, lost and found again. Adding to the rich history of THE FANTASTICKS is the latest production of the musical at Orlando Shakes – one which delights, warms the heart and reminds us why it’s good to “Try to Remember” every so often.
