Cyrano de Bergerac (2008)

'Based on a true story, Cyrano de Bergerac is a classic tale of romance and tragedy. The soulful poet/philosopher and brilliant swordsman Cyrano (Kevin Kline), a cadet in the French Army, falls for the beautiful, strong-willed Roxane (Jennifer Garner), but is too ashamed of his large nose to tell her. Instead, when he learns that she loves the handsome Christian de Neuvillette (Daniel Sunjata), his dim-witted comrade, he pens poetry and love letters to Roxane on Christian's behalf. After many years, the truth is revealed. Will love or beauty conquer all?'

The production opened on November 1, 2007 at the Richard Rodgers Theater on Broadway. It was later recorded live on Wednesday, January 2, 2008 for PBS' Great Performances.

The show was made available on DVD on January 6, 2009 from Image Entertainment.

The revival played its final performance on Sunday, January 6, 2008 after multiple extensions due to popular demand.
