Cyrano De Bergerac tickets might be a bit hard to come by this Broadway season. Not only is it a Broadway favorite that has been repeatedly revived since the early part of the century, the current production has some special stars in store. Broadway's most recent revival of the play will feature Kevin Kline in the lead role with Jennifer Garner of Alias fame playing Roxane. The play will also star Daniel Sunjata.
A Coveted Role
Cyrano De Bergerac tickets have always been in demand because some of the world's best actors have, at one time or another tried their hand at the role of Cyrano. In some ways, it's seen as a litmus test for actors- for those who are known for their good looks, this role is one that banks on character and emotion. It is also not an easy task to convey the anguished love that Cyrano carries for Roxane, especially on stage.
However many of Hollywood's best have donned the role of Cyrano and have done it great justice. Some of the most notable are Derek Jacobi, Ralph Richardson, Richard Chamberlain and Christopher Plummer. Plummer went on to win a Tony award for his portrayal of Cyrano in the 1973 musical version of the play.
A Play of Many Avatars
One thing that has set this play apart and perhaps adds to the demand for Cyrano De Bergerac tickets is the fact that this story has been redone a number of times. Much like many of Shakespeare's plays that have been reinterpreted to portray certain times or particular sections of society, the story of Cyrano has also been redone a number of times. Perhaps the most memorable is the Steve Martin comedy Roxanne where Martin plays the romantic Cyrano and Daryl Hannah plays Roxane but the tale is set in a small town in America. In this story, Cyrano is a fire captain and his nose is abnormally large, to the point where it looks ridiculous. Martin wrote the script himself and the film is often listed as one of the funniest movies.
But that is hardly the only one. People who have Cyrano De Bergerac tickets are probably also aware that the movie ‘The Truth About Cats & Dogs’, starring Uma Thurman was also loosely based on the play though the two main characters were women. The teen flick ‘Whatever It Takes’ is also based on the story of Cyrano and stars James Franco and Marla Sokoloff. It is apparent that the core premise of the story is a timeless one- one can't help but be moved by Cyrano, who keeps his love for Roxane a secret and also feels himself not worthy of her because of his looks. One can't help but think that only if Cyrano had the courage to see beyond his own looks, the entire story may have ended happily.
