Cyrano de Bergerac is what live theater is all about: beautiful costumes from the era of The Three Musketeers, a balcony scene that puts Romeo and Juliet to shame, romantic lines that resonate in the ear and echo in the heart, the bustle and swirl of the night life of Paris at its height, and the best sword fight ever mounted on any stage. Cyrano himself is a gigantic character – poet, lover, soldier, and the deadliest swordsman alive, with a passion almost too great for the stage to contain. The lovely Roxanne is a woman that men would kill – or die – for. Their story has thrilled and moved audiences around the world. It is an epic tale, ranging from the intimate shadows of Paris to the blazing battleground of Arras, a story full of musketeers and barons, orange wenches and ladies, grand battles and personal duels, intrigue, double-dealing, and above all else – romance.

The cast for the show includes: Chris Cardoni (Watertown), Michelle Mount (Somerville), Bill Stambaugh (Waltham), David Berti (Waltham), David Frank (West Roxbury), Robert Zawistowski (Medway), Andy Moore (Brookline), Ellen Simmons (Sudbury), David Robinson (Plymouth), David Perlman (Waltham), Tom Kilgallen (Weston), Bob Moore (Westford), Finley Smith (Newbury), Miranda Reilly (Arlington), Abigail Houghton (Cambridge), and Reggie Joseph. The director, John Barrett, is from Bolton.
