Today in 1946, Cyrano de Bergerac opened at the Alvin Theatre (now the Neil Simon Theatre), where it ran for 193 performances. Cyrano de Bergerac is a play written in 1897 by Edmond Rostand. Although there was a real Cyrano de Bergerac, the play bears a very scant resemblance to his life. The entire play is written in verse, in rhyming couplets of 12 syllables per line, very close to the Alexandrine format, but the verses sometimes lack a caesura. Notable English-speaking Cyranos include Ralph Richardson, DeVeren Bookwalter, Derek Jacobi, Richard Chamberlain, and Christopher Plummer, who played the part in Rostand's original play and won a Tony Award for the 1973 musical adaptation. Kevin Kline played the role in a Broadway production in 2007. The play is currently in previews at the American Airlines Theatre, starring Douglas Hodge in the title role.

In a new translation by Ranjit Bolt under the direction of Jamie Lloyd, Cyrano de Bergerac marks our first production at the American Airlines Theatre this season in a production that will leave you breathless. Jamie is making his Broadway directorial debut with this production, and he has no interest in entering the scene quietly. Obviously, I'm perfectly aware that Cyrano is not a piece that has been neglected on big stages in recent years. However, when a director has an exciting new vision for this kind of enduring story, with new ways of looking at iconic scenes and characters, it's foolish to let timing stand in the way. Believe me, you may have seen Cyrano before, but you've never seen it like this.
