About the Show

Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Peter Dinklage ("Game of Thrones") stars in this new musical version of the classic tale of unrequited love and ghostwritten letters.

From the show:

A raw and transporting new version of the classic tale of unrequited love and ghostwritten letters, Cyrano tells the story of a proud man who, believing himself unlovable, agrees to woo the woman he loves for another. With a charged contemporary immediacy to the language, this adaptation by Erica Schmidt (All the Fine Boys) mines this enduring, human story for its deep vein of heartbroken yearning, with haunting and compelling music by members of the Grammy Award-winning band The National and the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Peter Dinklage in the title role.

Disappointing, Romantic, Great acting

See it if you want to see Peter Dinklage up close and personal.

Don't see it if you expect a big Broadway Show. This is Off-Broadway with chairs on risers. Read more

Disappointing, Great acting, Ambitious, Absorbing

See it if You are a Peter Dinklage fan and want to see him live. You love the Cyrano story in any form - I would call this a play w/music.

Don't see it if You want to see the classic done as written. You are not a fan of Dinklage or the play. You want to see a musical with great singing. Read more

Funny, Great acting, Entertaining

See it if If you a fan of Games of Thrones or Peter Dinklage. If you like the story. If you like different approaches and presentation of a classic.

Don't see it if If you are not a fan of the actor nor the story. If you prefer classics presented classically.

Dated, Great production quality, Elegant, Great staging, Romantic

See it if you like musical adaptations of old plays. You enjoy creative scenic design and ensemble-based work.

Don't see it if you're only seeing it for Peter Dinklage. He's wonderful, but not a singer. If you see it, you should come in supporting the whole cast. Read more

Clever, Refreshing, Great acting, Funny, Entertaining

See it if To explore the scope of theater, amazing and brave acting, creative use of the score and rethink what you thought you knew about a play

Don't see it if You are too much of a traditionalist to appreciate creativity and exploration

Great acting, Great music, Entertaining

Entertaining, Great singing, Great acting, Clever, Ambitious

See it if A different Cyrano,with music and lyrics by members of the National. Cast members act and sing well ,including Dinklage. The highlight is

Don't see it if You prefer the classic version with Cyrano's large proboscis and no music. Read more

Quirky, Romantic, Ambitious, Great writing, Great acting

See it if Classic reimagining in a play with music w/o prosthetic where the facial flaw is substituted for some other subtext:He still is left-swiped.

Don't see it if Uncharacteristically weak showing from the New Group. The lessened musicality diminishes the poetic beauty of the source material. Read more
