BroadwayWorld has a first look at CYRANO at Goodspeed! Check out all new photos below! Led by Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Peter Dinklage as Cyrano alongside film actress Haley Bennett as Roxanne and film and TV actor Blake Jenner as Christian, the cast of this bold new musical includes Tom Riis Farrell, Damon J. Gillespie, Patrick Kerr, Laith Nakli, Gayle Samuels, Claire Saunders and Charlie Thurston.

Dal 7 settembre sara possibile vedere, per la prima volta in italiano, su Premium Stories la non tanto fortunata serie televisiva RISE. Debutto il 13 marzo sul canale della NBC, la nota azienda televisiva che l'ha prodotta, ma venne tristemente cancellata dopo la prima stagione l'11 maggio. Un vero peccato perche la serie, seppur con pochi ascolti, aveva conquistato il cuore del pubblico con la sua trama drammatica e attuale.

It is an instantly recognizable story. Skilled writer and romantic Cyrano de Bergerac crafts beautiful prose but can't let himself be loved due to insecurities about his looks. This classic story is being brought to life in a new and exciting way at the Goodspeed's Norma Terris Theatre with music by members of the Grammy Award-winning band, The National, and a stellar cast and creative team. Playing the character of Le Bret is Damon J. Gillespie who is just off a starring role on the TV show Rise. I had the pleasure of speaking with Damon and learning about his experience with this new twist on a classic tale.
