The poet with panache–and a legendary nose–plays anew under the Theater Tent:
Longtime HVSF company member Jason O’Connell leads a five-person cast as his own Cyrano, the brilliant thinker, wordsmith, and swordsman. He’s a thorny romantic with an outsized reputation and a barely-contained love for his childhood sweetheart, Roxane. Can she sniff out the truth in this sophisticated suitor’s heart before it’s too late?

See it if You like outdoor theater, unique staging, 5 person cast, great story and retelling of a classic. Great acting , fun night
Don't see it if Don’t like 5 person cast each playing multiple roles, has a contemporary spin so don’t see if want precise retelling of original story
See it if You enjoy outdoor theater and for Jason O'Connell who is just fantastic as Cyrano + innovative script
Don't see it if You want a conventional approach to de Bergerac - this is a cross between the more comedic approaches and the heart wrenching classic
See it if Peter Dinklage cannot sing and is a very unconvincing Cyrano
Don't see it if No, don’t see it
See it if you loved Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones. And if you loved the classic romantic tragedy.
Don't see it if you loved (or hated) the classic movie with Jose Ferrer.
See it if If you love Tina Turner. And who doesn’t! You will want to see this! The energy of the cast will bring you to your feet!
Don't see it if If you don’t like musicals or want a quite night out. Too many great voices to just sit there
See it if the staging, acting and directing were spot on. very engaging.
Don't see it if if you don't like lots of dialogue then this show is not for you.
