Cyrano is a brash, strong-willed man of many talents whose whimsical aptitude for the spoken word is overshadowed by an attribute that is iconic, outrageous and gigantic—his nose. How can the curiously-snouted Cyrano ever hope to win the affections of the beautiful Roxane?
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast recording, starring Caroline Aaron, Hugo Armstrong, Kalen Harriman, Gregory Itzin, Hamish Linklater, Anna Mathias, Morgan Ritchie, Jason Ritter, Andre Sogliuzzo, Devon Sorvari, and Matthew Wolf.

“L.A Theatre Works gives a briskly energetic performance of Rostand’s bittersweet romance about the heroic but unlovely poet and swordsman Cyrano and his hopeless love for the beautiful Roxane. The cast handles Burgess’ rhyming version adroitly, without making listeners uncomfortably aware of the verse structure…The main players convey the drama’s emotions admirably, hold listeners’ attention, and keep the piece lively. The program includes an informative conversation with a biographer of Rostand.”
